What Makes a Good Leader?
This is the first question of the Leadership Synchroblog sponsored by Evangelical Seminary, running September 10th-14th.
Though most of us don’t run big companies, command platoons, or lead mega-churches, but we’ve all had our experiences with leadership.
And in certain ways we all lead:
• As a parent
• As a mentor, coach, or teacher
• In ministry
• On a project
• At our job
• In our neighborhood
…and so on.
So you’ve probably learned some things along the way through your own experiences. OR, conversely, you’ve been led by an inapt leader…so, you know what NOT to do.
Whatever your story, you can read excellent Leadership resources AND join in the first Leadership Synchroblog in the week of SEPTEMBER 10-14th (2012).
Weigh in on “What Makes a Good Leader”. Other topics will follow, usually twice per month. You can check the blog for guest writers and new Synchroblog topics. Write you own contribution and then connect to this bigger conversation.
By contributing, you’ll be part of making leaders better and a larger community with this focus at the fore. We’ve invited some leading experts in the field to weigh in too, so don’t forget to check out what they have to say on Leadership at the blog.Contributor GUIDANCE / REQUIREMENTS:
