Leadership makes a difference. Leaders directly impact the
success or failure of any group or church. Excellent leaders direct
churches to successfully accomplish their goals, fulfill their
missions, and create a vibrant fellowship of believers who
significantly influence their communities for Christ. Poor leaders
can undermine the mission of a church, devastate the reputation of
a fellowship, and sometimes dissolve the ministries of a
congregation. The effects of average leaders are variable. They
often allow churches to limp along, to become routine, even stale,
or to just survive from week to week. Many factors challenge
churches already, and ineffective leadership can make those
challenges even more difficult to conquer.
A primary reason why leaders struggle so often is a lack of
understanding and training in the basic principles of genuine
leadership. Further confounding this lack of understanding is the
promotion of contemporary philosophies about leadership that can
distort those basic concepts of leadership. This ignorance is not
the fault of pastors who have a sincere desire to lead effectively,
but the training in leadership at many seminaries is often limited.
Leadership at the Crossroads addresses some of those concerns. What
is leadership? What leadership style works best? How can ministers
more effectively motivate their congregations? How can pastors
direct the planning process, promote decision making, properly
delegate responsibilities, and initiate change? What methods are
effective in conflict resolution? These questions, as well as
others, are addressed in Leadership at the Crossroads.
