How to Become a Creative Church Leader by John Nelson
A companion to the popular Creative Church Leadership, this co-publication with "MODEM" focuses on the practical skills necessary for dynamic leadership in the local church. A wide range of experienced church leaders and management gurus reflect on key components of successful contemporary church leadership including: part one which discusses people, leading a team, choosing and mentoring assistants, leading lay ministers and volunteers, how to delegate, how to resolve conflict; part two which describes organisation, leading churches of different sizes, leading multiple congregations, relating to the local community, initiating and completing projects, how to chair meetings; and, part three which discusses up close and personal, what kind of a leader are you, getting your work/life balance right, thinking strategically, preaching with a purpose, and much more.
'As the title suggests this is a 'handbook', perhaps not a book to read initially from cover-to-cover, but one that is useful to keep on the book shelf and dip into from time to time as one may wishThis book may be of interest to those entering a first incumbency. The contributors all write from personal experience in ministry, dealing with subjects like the personal characteristics of a leader, preaching, thinking strategically, leading a team, dealing with conflict and so much more'. -- Church of Ireland Gazette
