Synopsis

"Dynamic Discernment rings true--it portrays change leadership to be as complicated, fraught, adventurous and exhilarating as it really is. Sarah Drummond draws on her considerable experience, research, and theological acumen to expertly guide leaders in understanding and engaging the dynamic interplay between reason, emotion and power for leading change. Dynamic Discernment is an outstanding and hopeful resource to prepare for that kind of creative leadership."--Matthew Floding, Director of Ministerial Formation at Duke Divinity School and the former chair of the Association for Theological Field Education

Leadership that seeks to be effective must navigate the emotional systems, learning habits, and power dynamics of any community it hopes to serve through seasons of change. When conflict, stagnation, and decline threaten an institution's imagination and sustainability, leaders must be adaptable, self-differentiated, discerning, and liberation-minded if they are going to cast a vision for--and lead the work of--transformation. With experience and practicality, Sarah B. Drummond offers critical tools, social theory, and theological perspective to equip leaders in organizational change.
