Most pastors are comfortable with the role of leader. Inspiring
people and helping them discover and make use of their own gifts
are tasks to which ministers generally feel called. Too many
pastors and church leaders, however, forget that along with skills
at leadership must come at least some acquaintance with the work of
managing staff (whether it be paid or voluntary) and resources.
What are the chief qualities and functions of a leader? Why are
management skills necessary for an effective leader? Most
important, how can pastors and other church leaders adapt these
insights to their particular work as servants of the church?
In Leading & Managing a Growing Church, George Hunter brings
together insights from the best writers and thinkers on leadership
and management, and presents them in a brief, accessible
introduction. With the clarity and style that is his trademark, he
explores the most important ideas to emerge from leadership and
management studies, and demonstrates how they can be put in the
service of congregational vitality and growth.
