Are you a leader? The new year brings new leadership assignments for many of us! Whether you see yourself as having a spiritual gift of leadership or not, you do influence people. The way you influence them can release their power, and yours, toward achievement of your ministry goals.
The concept of “3 Colors of Leadership” springs from the pioneering Natural Church Development (NCD) research of Christian Schwarz in 70,000 churches across all six continents. Participants will need to purchase “The 3 Colors of Leadership” by Schwarz from Churchsmart.com in the U.S. or from your national NCD resource agency in other countries.
Before the class, each participant must identify at least two (or more) persons whom the participant has influenced, and ask them to complete an online confidential questionnaire about the participant’s leadership style, as explained in the textbook, which includes a “token” for the online questionnaire.
There will be a very short daily reading, reflection and small group discussion. (This class will not include face to face online meetings.)
1.5 CEU will be awarded on completion.
