Following Jesus & Leading People
A Scripture Union classic outlaying perspectives on biblical ways of being an influence for Jesus.
By Ross Farley.
Normal RRP $14.95
More Details
For church ministers, children's leaders, youth leaders and particularly helpful for new leaders and directors.
Leadership can happen at any level of a church or organisation. It even happens in informal groups of friends. Following Jesus and Leading People draws on the example of Jesus using secular leadership theory to inform, encourage and challenge. It has important principles for pastors and the heads of organisations, but is just as relevant for youth leaders, mission volunteers, children's workers and all who seek to influence others for Jesus Christ.
Students will find this book extremely helpful in building paradigms and skills, as will coaches and mentors working with emerging leaders. Those who have been leaders on the road for awhile will find this a helpful corrective to the character drift that so often wrecks Christian leaders.

SU Victoria's State Director Dave Tolputt: The underlying theme of this book is that the number one role of a leader is change!
