Download or read book Understanding Christian Leadership written by Ian Parkinson and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 2020 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Christian Leadership offers an examination of a distinctly Christian understanding of leadership offering a critical appraisal of insights from secular theories of leadership, exploring biblical and other theological insights into the nature and practice of leadership. Whilst arguing for a form of leadership which is widely dispersed and collaborative, the book seeks to explain the distinctive role of leaders within such a leadership economy. It also seeks to establish a proper relationship between sacred and secular leadership thinking, tackling some of the common philosophical and theological reservations to do with leadership discourse, whilst offering a critical framework for discerning the suitability for the Church of different sources of leadership thinking. Designed as core reading for leadership modules currently taught by the author across a large number of training contexts in the UK, this book is an indispensable text for those taking undergraduate or postgraduate-level qualifications in Christian leadership as well as those in other less formal leadership training contexts.

Download or read book God s Wisdom for the Modern Day Leader written by James Pounder and published by . This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book designed for Christian leaders or for anyone who wishes to learn and apply the biblical principles of leadership. In the latter sense, it will be of interest to anyone who is looking for a model of leadership that this world cannot provide, leadership that is bible based, spiritually discerning, ethical and capable of producing excellent fruit. If you fall into this category, this requires that you maintain an open mind to what is presented in this book and if anything does not sit right with you, I urge you to check it out for yourself. The book takes the form of 'Little Bites' that provide bible based nuggets of leadership wisdom in an easily digestible form. These Little Bites are the product of my own experience of Church leadership that spans some 25 years and my worldly career which includes 30 years as a university professor of management and various university leadership roles up to and including the level of Provost. Regarding the former, for seven years my wife and I were thrust into the tough context of the Middle East and we struggled many times despite the fact that we had already led churches for a number of years. It therefore became very clear to us that Christian leadership training is a neglected area but a must for anyone who takes up a Christian leadership role, especially for those stepping into this role for the first time. This book is an attempt to address this crucial leadership area.I have divided the book into five sections. The opening section I have called: The Perspective, which I believe is all about developing a mindset that is essential for effective Christian leadership. The second section I have called the Practice, and for this, I have drawn primarily on my own experience of Christian leadership. I have called the third section: The Prophets, which I am using as a collective term to describe the major players in the Bible. I believe that we have much to learn from their behavior and actions that is specifically relevant to Christian leadership. The fourth section has the unusual title of the Professors, and this reflects my own experience as a long time university management professor with a special interest in leadership. My argument is that, in this world, there is no shortage of theories on what constitutes effective leadership, and these theories have been developed in the academic world by university professors. In this section I examine what the world has to offer in terms of leadership theories and principles with a view to evaluating their usefulness, or otherwise, for Christian leadership. In the final section, which I have called The Projection, I have surveyed the various writings on leadership, many produced by business leaders and consultants, which project what they consider to be the essential leadership principles for successful leadership in the 21st Century. As with the previous section, I evaluate their relevance to Christian leadership, which is certainly not immune from the pressures that the modern world brings. The book aims to set Christian leaders up for success given that, in taking up their roles, they instantly became arch enemies of the devil, who will do everything possible to decimate their ministry including, I might add, creating all sorts of distractions to prevent them reading this book. Christian leader, I urge you to pray each time you pick up this book; it has been tough to write and it will be tough to read but push through fellow leaders, you are soldiers for Christ.
