Christ-like Leadership (It’s all about Christ-likeness)

As we reflect back on the GProCongress in 2016, we recall that pastoral health is key to church health, societal health and ultimately transformation. It was a running undercurrent or theme to the GProCongress. Why? Because the quality of our influence hinges on being a holistically healthy pastor. During the parallel session on Spiritual Engagement, we hammered this theme hard, digging ever deeper into the importance of what it means to be a Christ-like leader! It’s so pivotal that the movement I’m a part of, highlights it as our second of four core outcomes. Even the Lausanne Movement in […]

Spiritual Leadership through an Eastern Lens

by Jeremy Dawson I’ve grown up in India and I’ve been exposed to so much of leadership right from Grade 1 all the way through school and beyond. I continued to study leadership in college through courses and seminars. One never stops thinking about leadership, as you continually ask yourself, how do you influence people in mass? How do you make a change within a community, a nation, or bring about changes in world events and life styles? Being educated both in India and abroad, one begins to see the difference between leadership from the Western mindset through the Western […]

Develop These 7 Leadership Skills

“Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning.” Proverbs 9:9 Leadership is critical in ministry as it is for any organization. The success of any ministry will rise and fall on its leadership. Weak ministries can succeed with strong leadership, but strong ministries cannot succeed with weak leadership. If we are to achieve success in the ministries that God has called us to, then we must become effective leaders in order to fulfill His purpose through us. John Maxwell, a leading authority on leadership, says that while […]

Unashamed Servant-Leadership

One year ago, Unashamed Servant-Leadership was released by Langham Publishing as part of the Global Perspectives Series. How it came about to be published is another story but one that began at the GProCongress for Pastoral Trainers in 2016. Prior to that, this was just a research done to fulfill my doctoral study requirements at Tabor Adelaide, Australia. At the Congress, I met Dr. Riad Kassis, a Langham Partnership Director and scholar who encouraged me to send my manuscript to the extended publishing arm of Langham. There were no promises that the manuscript would be accepted. I had sat on […]

Reshared with kind permission from Carey Nieuwhof. Like anyone who has led for more than a few years, you’ve probably sensed that things feel a little more chaotic today than they did a few years ago. You may wonder why, but think about the change you’ve witnessed in the last decade. Your parents had one inbox. It was paper, and the letter carrier came once a day. Mom and dad also had one phone at work and one at home. It rang from time to time, and when they weren’t around, there was voicemail. So…think about it. How many inboxes do […]

How to Handle Criticism in Life & Leadership

If you are new to leadership, you might wonder why you get criticized. The reality is if you are a leader in any capacity, that is the only requirement to get criticized. If you are a leader and I’m using the word leader to define someone who is out in front of a church or organization, casting a vision for the future, leading people there. If you are at that person, it means you are pushing the status quo; you are most likely making changes of some kind. If you preach on a weekly basis, you are challenging people to […]

Leadership Transitions and Overcoming “Founder’s Syndrome”: A Case Study in Humility and Gratitude reshared with kind permission from Leadership Resources Intl. Some leadership transitions are fraught with tension and conflict. Others can even sink a church or an organization.
