High-Impact Leadership: Developing Leaders Who Can Inspire and Mobilize People to Advance Christ's Territory In The 21st Century And Beyond

These ever-changing times call for leaders who are able to navigate their organization through change and ensure that goals and objectives are accomplished. Church and ministry leaders are not exempt from the driving/restraining forces of change within the ministry context. It brings to bare a key question that all senior leaders must ask: What kind of leaders must we be developing to respond to these ever changing times? The most viable answer, both now and in the future is High-Impact leadership. Leaders are needed to Inspire and Mobilize People to Advance Christ's Territory (I.M.P.A.C.T.). Three key problems hinder churches and para-church ministries from developing High-Impact leaders; namely a weak or non-existent organizational strategy, a weak or non-existent leadership strategy, and a weak or non-existent leadership development strategy. Organizational strategy, leadership strategy, and leadership development strategy are all interconnected aspects of the organizational system. Neglect of any part of the system can negatively impact leadership development efforts. This book provides a full-robed view of leadership development in relation to organizational leadership strategy. It is written to help senior leaders create a robust leadership development framework, and subsequently an effective leadership development plan. The strategies presented are contextualized for church and ministry leaders. The case for developing High-Impact leaders is not only made, but practical aspects of constructing a leadership development strategy are presented.
