  11. The long painful history of the Church is the history of people ever and again tempted to choose power over love, control over the cross, being a leader over being led.Henri Nouwen

  16. What Leadership Is Not

  17. It is not leadership from any one person that is required, it is an aspect of leadership each of us summons from within. In this respect, the same qualities we have sought in one person can be found distributed among many people who learn, in community, to exercise their "leadership" at appropriate moments. This occurs when people are vitally concerned about issues or when executing their responsibilities. Leadership thus becomes a rather fluid concept focusing on those behaviors which propel the work of the group forward.J. Nirenberg

  18. Leadership makes a difference - Bell and DudleyPublished in AUSS Fall 2002 • “Leadership Formation in Ministerial Education: Assessment and Analysis of Leadership Traits in Seventh-day Adventist Pastors in North America” • Does pastoral success correlate with leadership traits • The Leadership Practices Inventory of Kouzes and Posner • Established criteria for success • Two sample groups formed

  19. Having spent much of the last decade researching organizational behavior and ministry impact, I am convinced that there are just a handful of keys to successful ministry. One of the indispensable characteristics of a ministry that transforms lives is leadership.George Barna

  20. “Leadership as Relationship”

  21. Relational leadership is composed of four basic components

  22. Orientation to the Ministry Development Plan

  23. Orientation to Journaling

  24. What Does A Church (Or Other Organization) Look Like When Relational Leadership is Practiced?

  25. Worldviews evolve beyond dominance, toward relational dialogue, and finally relational meaning-making

  26. CLC definitionChristian leadership is a dynamic relational process in which people, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, partner to achieve a common goal - it is serving others by leading and leading others by serving.

  27. Six Essentials of Transformational Leadership_____Fourteen Administrative Practices of Successful Church Leaders

  28. Six Essentials • A God Given Passion Stirring Vision • Demonstrating Faith Based Hope • Exercising Solid Integrity • Courage to Challenge the Status Quo • Unswerving Belief in Empowering People • Abundance mentality

  29. Leadership Development • It is more than training for administrative skills • It is even more than developing leadership habits – what we call essentials • It is first of all transforming

  30. Jesus on Servant Leadership • Matthew 20:20-28 • Mark 10:35-45 • Mark 9:35 • Luke 22:24-27 • John 13:1-17 • 1 Peter 5:1-3 • Romans 12:1

  31. Servant-Leadership is a practical philosophy demonstrated by people who choose to serve first, and then lead as a way of contributing to individuals and institutions.

  32. “The servant-leader is servant first… It beginswith the natural feeling that one wants to serve,to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. He or she is sharply different from the person who is leader first, perhaps because of the need to assuage an unusual power drive or to acquire material possessions. For such it will be a later choice to serve – after leadership is established. The leader-first and the servant-first are two extreme types. Between them there are shadings and blends that are part of the infinite variety of human nature.

  33. The difference manifest itself in the care taken by the servant-first to make sure that other people’s highest priority needs are being served. The best test…is: do those served grow as persons; do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants? And, what is the effect on the least privileged in society; will they benefit, or, at least, will they not be further deprived?”Servant Leadership - Greenleaf

  34. What distinguishes servant leadership is the motivation behind our actions as leaders.

  35. Servant leadership means we also set aside personal gain, make sacrifices, and put the needs of others above the direction we may prefer for ourselves.

  36. Servant leadership is not weak, it has a greater power and influence than leadership based on force, reward, or selfishness.

  37. Servant leadership is in a deeper sense natural. It flows out of our life-long experience of spiritual formation.

  38. For many years I have told people that although there are a lot of books on leadership, there is only one serious students have to read – Servant Leadership by Robert K. Greenleaf…. Greenleaf invites people to consider a domain of leadership grounded in a state of being, not doing. He says that the first and most important choice a leader makes is the choice to serve, without which one’s capacity to lead is profoundly limited. That choice is not an action in the normal sense – it’s not something you do, but an expression of your being.” Peter Senge, 1996, from the introduction to Jaworski’s Synchronicity

  40. Greenleaf - Indicators Of Servant Leadership • Do those being served grow as persons? • Do they become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous? • Are they more likely themselves to become servants? • Will the least privileged benefit, or at least not further be deprived ?

  41. “The only authority deserving one’s allegiance is that which is freely granted by the led to the leader, in response to clear evidence of servant leadership.” Robert Greenleaf

  42. Indicators of Servant Leadership

  43. Altruistic Calling • Deep-rooted desire to make a positive difference in others’ lives • Puts others’ interests ahead of their own and goes beyond the call of duty to meet others’ needs

  44. Do you have an Altruistic Calling? • What is something you feel deeply about in terms of serving others? • What are you willing to give up to do it?

  45. LISTENING • They are genuinely interested in the views and ideas of others • They encourage others to give input and they are active listeners

  46. EMPATHY • They earn confidence from others because they consistently are able to relate to the issues and problems that others face • SLs must develop and demonstrate a strong empathic response to concerns and issues raised

  47. Emotional Healing • Commitment to and skill in fostering spiritual recovery from hardship or trauma • Followers turn to these leaders when they have a personal trauma

  48. Do You Know an Emotional Healer? • When the chips are down, who provides emotional healing for you? • What do they do?
