Abstract

There is without question a plethora of leaders. However, not ever leader is effective according to God’s design. This book highlights the importance of effective leadership, with a concentration on ten key areas. This book deals with the importance of self-care, strategic foresight and direction, accountability, systems and structure, innovation, the need to suppress the ego, proper placement, the importance of assessments, how to stay relevant, and the importance of succession planning. An organizations success is strongly connected to its leader(s). Hence the need for leaders to be effective, which is a process that starts internally. As leaders evolve God’s way internally, they are then able to foster a culture in their organization that breeds success according to God’s design. Leaders must never try to meet the world’s standards and forget their Kingdom obligation to God by chasing worldly success and neglecting God. This book also highlights the fact that Effective leadership must be driven by God’s idea of success and not the culture. After all, God desires that the Church influences the world and not the world influencing the Church.

Christian leaders should provide effective leadership to their organizations, churches, denominations, and the world, and the ten topics highlighted in this book will assist leaders in their pursuit of effective leadership.
