Leadership Development
|
Churches and Christian organisations want to grow, and they are growing
|
|
|
Growing organisations need good leaders.
|
|
|
Good leaders are hard to come, and usually overloaded.
|
|
|
Many leaders have good ministry gifts and skills, but underdeveloped leadership
capabilities.
(That is, they know what has to be done and how to do it, but struggle getting others to do it.)
|
|
|
Too often, the availability of a person has more impact on their selection as a leader than their
capability as a leader.
|
|
|
Most leaders really do want to be effective leaders.
|
After seeing leaders for whom we were responsible burnout in our own local church, we set out to break the pattern.
At that time there was not a lot available for leadership itself, and many leadership courses gave a lot more
expertise in the ministry area, but not as much with actual leadership skills itself.
Our aim is to complement ministry gifts and skills with
leadership skills.
Chazown Leadership Development Seminars do not develop specific ministry areas. They develop leadership skills
which should be added to a persons existing ministry expertise to make them effective in their leadership.
Our material has been drawn from a wide range of sources, but the benchmark has always been how effective the
principles have been in actual practice in Christian organisations..
Based on our direct experience in senior levels of leadership in churches and in industry, and from observations of
other co-leaders, we identified 55 topics that were important for leaders, and then organised them in a diagram to show the relationships between them all. This diagram shows that the foundation
for all of these topics was Love, and that Love is actually the basis other topics such as Vision, Goal Setting,
Integrity, Communications, and so on. The topic that was dependant on all of the others was Change Management. That
helps understand why effective change is so difficult. That topic list is now the basis for all our Leadership
Development Seminars. We will deliver seminars on whatever topics meet the needs of those requestingthe seminar -
it is not necessary to start at the beginning and work through to the end, but because the topic chart gives us the
context for a particular topic, we know what areas need to be reviewed or summarised in order to get full value
from the seminar.
If you want to organise a Leadership
Development Seminar for your church or organisation, please contact us via email and we will work
out the best way to meet your requirements.
