The Necessary Nine

Description:Leaders often wonder why some pastors are more effective at reaching their goals and leading their congregation than others. Conventional wisdom is that leaders are born, not made. In reality, that is one small piece of the leadership puzzle. The fact is, approximately 10 percent of church leaders are naturally-gifted leaders who actually don't need any help. Another ten percent of church leaders do not have the capacity to lead nor learn to lead with the skill set needed for the 21st Century church. This means approximately eighty percent of church leaders have the possibility of becoming a more effective church leader. This book is for them. The book will contain 29 simple axioms for effective pastoral and lay leadership for the church. These 29 axioms have the greatest potential for fruitful ministry. These strategies are straightforward and easy to use. The reader will have "that's true" moments and learn to put those insights into regular practice. This book will help the reader with the simple leadership strategies that, if practiced over and over and over, will change the effectiveness of their leadership, the church and the world.
