Leadership is an Art

Leadership Philosophy

Robert J. Clinton writes that a ministry philosophy is the result of leadership development—the ideas, values, and principles whether implicit or explicit the leader uses as guidelines for decision-making, for exercising influence, or for evaluating ministry (The Making of a Leader, page 179).

With the continued growth at Crimson House and the need to expand leadership roles, it is necessary for all who lead to firmly embrace Pastor's leadership style and philosophy. As shared in prayer meeting last Monday, Leadership is an Art, by Max Depree, was instrumental in shaping my philosophy in conjunction with the biblical principles resident in the priesthood of believers. Below is our discussion schedule.
