There is a leadership crisis in the American church. Churches need to be proactive in engaging young men and women in order to train them for effective leadership in the 21st century church. Transformational leadership is vital for developing effective current and future leaders. Effective leadership training must first focus on training current leaders in self-leadership. Self-leadership can reduce the risk of moral and ethical failure because this training produces internal change that translates into authenticity and integrity.
The second focus of transformational leadership is for a trained leader to enter into a mentor relationship in order that younger men and women might start their journey towards self-leadership. It is from these mentor relationships that God will raise up effective leaders for todays church.
There are some major differences between being a manager and a leader. I can assist your church and your current leadership to start to train effective leaders which will help improve the health of the church.
