BUILDING INTENTIONAL LEADERSHIP SKILLS

This course has been cancelled.

For the purposes of this training, leadership is defined as: "mobilizing a group of  people to work on their tough issues."  Ronald Heifetz, Leadership Without Easy Answers., 1994, Harvard University Business Press.
The rationale for this training event is the belief of the trainers, from personal experience and viewing the church around the country, that the church lacks skilled and trained leaders.
The church has many great managers‚those who can get work done,but few leaders,those who can mobilize a group to work on their tough issues.  Therefore, because of the times in which we live, it is imperative that we work to develop trained and skilled leaders who can empower congregations to work on their tough issues to lower the barriers that prevent the congregation from accomplishing its ministry.
Through the use of propositions and scenarios written to reflect the ministry settings of both interim called and conventionally called clergy, each group will work together to build their understanding and practice of intentional leadership skills.
Building Intentional Leadership Skills is an Advanced Education Course offered by the National Association of Lutheran Interim Pastors (NALIP) and is available to all rostered leaders of the church.
