  • 10 Keys to Developing Leaders in Churches

    posted on 

    @

    There’s lots of leadership development resources in recent years, all over in the marketplace, bookstores, nonprofits, and churches too. I think this is part of what it means to be working more productively in today’s fast-changing times and mobilizing people towards a common vision organizationally. One of the privileges for me was having a support role…

    Last week was the inaugural gathering of the Thirty.Network and I’m in awe and amazed at how it came together. There is so much I want to say about it, and I have, in bits and pieces with a handful of people in the afterglow. I really want to check-in with my blog before getting…

    In this fast-changing world requiring more leadership, all this talk about leadership could lead to fatigue from so much talk about it.
