Healthy leadership for women and men in faith-based contexts (church, agency, mission) is vital for organizational effectiveness, and is alternatively neglected, deified and debated. Servant leadership remains the model, yet must be informed and empowered by the best of “secular” corporate wisdom. Drawing upon biblical theology, Christian ethics, and current leadership theory and practice, the student will have opportunity to reflect upon and deliberate leadership skills in their own context. Key issues reviewed will be fundamentals and tasks of leadership, the family systems context, change and conflict resolution, relevant emotional intelligence competencies, empowering team growth, and the character and spirituality of leadership.
