Leading the Team-Based Church by George Cladis
A Leadership Network Publication In Leading the Team--Based Church, George Cladis issues a clarion call for ministry teams to embrace a fresh leadership model that is not based on hierarchy, but on a process of collaboration that mirrors the relationship of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
"Just when it seems that all that can be said has been said on thesubject of 'teams', just when one has tired of the gumming of thelabel 'team' on everything in sight, along comes perhaps the mostsignificant religious book on teams yet publishedCladisjuxtaposes the theological and cultural context for team-basedministry in a model presentation of what a conversation betweenBible, theology, and culture should look like." (Leonard Sweet,dean, The Theological School and vice president, DrewUniversity)
"I really like the way [Cladis] ties the Trinity to teams. Hisunique approach-explaining the role of teams through the eyes ofthe Holy Trinity-offers a new way of understanding how teams canfunction in the church." (Bill Easum, president, 21st CenturyStrategies, Inc., and author, Sacred Cows Make GourmetBurgers)
"Books on leadership tend to run off the road into either the ditchof theory-heavy counsel or the ditch of practice-only ideas. GeorgeCladis avoids both. He stays on the road because he has builtsuccessful church leadership teams and he has studied churchleadership theory. For him, team leadership is the key to afaithful church." (Terry C. Muck, professor of religion, AustinPresbyterian Theological Seminary)
