STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP - The New Discipline for 21st Century Leaders

in Leadership Books

We live in turbulent times. On an almost-daily basis we are confronted with news headlines of terrorist activity, which some world leaders speak of as “unconventional warfare operated by adaptive adversaries”.

We in the church have long been familiar with the struggle against the powers of darkness but now, along with the spiritual conflict and age-old difficulties in taking the Gospel out into the world, we face new difficulties where the church must compete in a global market. Leaders within the church and para-church organizations are now called upon to think differently, to create a long-term strategic plan with a compelling vision for the organizations and churches they lead. There is an expectation for strategic leaders within the church to possess a special mental and physical readiness to deal with the uncertainties and ambiguities of the times and to take the initiative in the conflict with the powers of darkness.

This book is written for those leaders who essentially want to be effective strategic leaders in church and para-church organizations. As well as dealing with the spiritual strategic arena in which the strategic leader operates in these times in which we live, this is a very practical book, covering such things as the gathering and analyzing of strategic information, the art of a general, formulating and implementing strategies and emotional resilience to see the vision of the organization come to fruition.

Yes, we do live in turbulent times… but as Christian leaders there is much we can learn from the new disciplines and strategies being developed by our global leaders. This leadership second series has seven sessions that can each be completed in 60 to 90 minutes.
