LEADING TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE:Leadership Practices for the 21st Century

ISBN 1921161043

This is the first book in the series on leadership by Dr Tony Keys. Challenging the status quo of an organization with a dynamic strategic vision and plan of transformational change, then leading that organization through the transformational change, is both an exhilarating and daunting experience for any leader and leadership team.
New thinking and the development of new leadership practices are required if we are to venture across the new horizons of transformational change that God has set before us.


This book deals with the intricacies of leading transformational change. They have been produced after extensive research and discussions with over 500 church leaders across the world, as well as my own personal experience of successfully leading several non-profit organizations through transformational change.


This book is designed to assist the Christian leader and their leadership team by firstly providing practical assistance in implementing executive leadership principles found to be effective in leading Christian and non-profit organizations through transformational change. Secondly, the books offer insight and understanding to the Christian leader and their leadership team as to the human response to the transition of change.


The book also enables the Christian leader and their leadership team to guide both their organization and all its members successfully through the transition of change and on to the new horizon that God has for them. This first leadership series has six sessions that are completed in 60 to 90 minute sessions.
