This book is about leadership and the leader as change agent for congregations.

Ten practical principles for transformative leadership are unlocked.

They are:

Model life change, lead from your own experience; cast a vision for what can be; connect with the culture of your people; understand your congregation as a complex system of systems; create opportunities for people to learn, grow, and change; name your congregation's needs, invite others to help define solutions; be alert to the reality of transition; launch changes well; reduce, rather than resist resistance; take steps to solidify your new beginning.

Recommended for: Leaders interested in leading their congregations through change.
