Leadership Essentials

Practical Tools For Leading In The Church

Plot

Discover the secrets of laity involvement contributing to the phenomenal success of the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection. Since its start in 1990, this Kansas congregation has grown to more than 12,000 members, with more than 58% of their adults active in some type of ministry.

Their leadership development specialists Carol Cartmill and Yvonne Gentile have created a series of resources to implement their effective volunteer training programs in YOUR congregation. The first two - "Serving from the Heart" and "Leadership from the Heart" - are now followed by this third resource, "Leadership Essentials."

Churches across the country are searching for committed people with a heart for ministry wanting to use their gifts for the church. Your best potential leaders may already be in your congregation. After recruiting & training lay volunteers for a leadership role, you must then give them the everyday tools to execute real-world leadership tasks. "Leadership Essentials," used as a study tool or a desk reference, provides the tools, direction, and inspiration needed by the best leaders. This book can be used by individuals in private study or by groups working together building leadership skills.

Leadership Essentials offers practical skills, worksheets, and practice exercises across a wide range of topics, including -
Recruiting & Building a Team
Planning Efficient Meetings
Managing Time
Mentoring Individuals
Implementing Change
Conflict Resolution
