Download or read book The Leadership Baton written by Rowland Forman and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demand for quality leaders constantly outstrips the supply. If you’re a pastor, team leader, staff member, or board member, you’re always challenged with a leadership shortage. But what can you do about it?More than you’ve ever imagined. The Leadership Baton equips you with a solution that’s time-proven and right at hand: church-based leadership development. More and more churches are adopting it, and no wonder—the principles that made the early church such a spiritual powerhouse are just as effective today. Leadership was never a matter of institutional learning or professional expertise. Rather, starting with Jesus and his apostles, it involved seasoned leaders passing the baton to ordinary people right within the local body of believers. That same approach can help ensure your own church is never at a loss for dependable men and women to enter the leadership race with wisdom, vision and passion.Drawing on the field-tested expertise of the Center for Church Based Training, The Leadership Baton will help you get the leaders you need up and running, developing leadership qualities they can in turn hand off to other up-and-coming leaders. Part 1 casts a vision for church-based leadership training—not merely a program, but a leadership development culture based on biblical and historical foundations. Part 2 presents a whole-life approach to leadership development that is wisdom-based (through courses), relationship-based (through the church community), and personal (through mentoring). Part 3 describes a comprehensive plan for leadership development, then breaks it down to target the needs of governing boards, emerging leaders, pastoral staffs, and interns. With discussion questions at the end of each chapter, this book concludes with two appendices, including a self-inventory for church leaders to help them assess their personal strengths and weak areas that need development. Put the principles in The Leadership Baton to work with patience, and in time your church will never lack the right people at the right time to help it fulfill its kingdom mission.
Download or read book Leadership Training Course written by The Vine U.s.a. and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2014-07-04 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Leaders training course, effective leadership for small groups is an indispensable resource for small groups and cell group leaders. God has called every Christian to fulfill the Great Commission. This implies that each Christian must develop leadership qualities by stepping up and developing his own quality leadership by employing what he has learned by leading a small group. This leaders training course will help. The leadership qualities of a small group leader are learned! Leaders are not born but cultivated, thus the need for a leaders training course. Jesus trained His own small group or "cell group" as we like to call them. These men began with no leadership qualities. They learned through the years they spent walking with Jesus. In the same way today, small group and cell group leaders must learn the principles that lead to effective leadership and these are not intuitively acquired. Quality leadership is always effective leadership. Leadership is about results and not just organization! Each lesson of the small group leaders training course shows how you as the leader of your cell group can identify and improve your leadership qualities and exercise an effective leadership resulting not only in your own growth, but also the growth of the members that you serve. Christian leadership today is going through a tremendous crisis. The church has confused leadership with administration, which is important but not foundational! The small group leaders training course reinforces this distinction by teaching the proper identity we have as children of God and the purpose that God the Father has for each of His children. This leaders training course teaches the foundations of God's throne and how spiritual authority plays in extending His rule over the earth. Each small group leader will learn effective leadership qualities by understanding and practicing these principles of spiritual authority. Spiritual authority has been woefully abused through the centuries and as a result many churches have abandoned the principle altogether. The small group leaders training course shows how to practice these principles without getting lost in its abuses. The leaders training course teaches the effective leadership qualities that new leaders need to protect themselves and the network of leaders in which they work from the dangers of these abuses. Each small group leader will learn effective leadership qualities by observing the lives of OT and NT leaders like Moses, Joshua, David, and the Apostle Paul. The effective leadership qualities that these men practiced are often overlooked in the narrative of each gospel account. However, we must recognize that effective leadership qualities are the hallmark of each positive bible character and the negative characters in the bible are presented as models of leadership qualities that must be avoided. Each small group leader will learn effective leadership qualities in evangelism, how to overcome barriers to evangelism, styles of evangelism, and tips for mobilizing your small group in evangelism. Each small group leader will learn effective leadership qualities related to praise and worship. Not every group member will have the gifts for ministering praise and worship but some will and you must know how to lead them into serving the group in this capacity.

Download or read book An Exploratory Study on the Leadership Development of Seasonal Staff at Camp written by Sarah Davis and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often, emerging adults spend their summers working in the camp environment. While efforts have been made to understand the camper experience, research regarding the growth and development lacks, especially as it concerns leadership. This study uses data gathered by Ribbe and Cyrus in their exploratory study, "Exploring the Impact of Summer Camp Employment on Camp Staff." In this study, 236 camp staff between the ages of 18 - 24 completed the Leadership Practices Inventory by Kouzes and Posner. This study seeks to explore the following: (1) the impact of Christian summer camp employment on leadership development of emerging adult staff and (2) what aspects of staff training, supervision, and care are correlated with positive growth in leadership. The data showed that emerging adults do grow in leadership ability from the beginning to the end of their summer spent working in the camp employment. Although camp cannot be claimed as the cause of this positive change in leadership, Pearson Correlation tests reveal that there is a connection between aspects of staff training, support, and supervision and what the Leadership Practices Inventory measures.
