Synopsis

Christ-Based Leadership paints a portrait of Christian leadership within a biblical framework while comparing and contrasting it to today's hottest leadership and organizational methods, books, and styles. David Stark shows how Christian leaders are called to live beyond the sins of power in how they relate to people and organizations. Christian leaders will develop a vision of how to act and organize differently, yet live with the reality of being sheep among wolves.
