Synopsis

God can use your unique gifts, passions and personality to help you become a better leader. While personality inventories can help you understand your temperament, the model designed by leading church planter David Olson is designed to form fruitful Christian leadership. Olson's model reveals how three factors--spirituality, chemistry and strategy--work together. The free online inventory that is a companion to this book takes just five minutes to complete, and the resulting report appears instantaneously. When you take the inventory, you will also discover your leadership style. The six styles that shape our ministry are

• The Sacred Leader
• The Relational Leader
• The Inspirational Leader
• The Building Leader
• The Mission Leader
• The Imaginative Leader

The thirty short chapters of this book are ideal for individual reflection with questions for individual discovery and bonus online activities. The book also includes all the tools you need to take your ministry team through this assessment. They will lead you deeper into this robust model for Christian leadership.

About this title

Review:

"If a professor is looking for practical tools to use to help students look at leadership styles based on a simple model and help them discover their own leadership abilities then Olson's book would be a great choice. The book is worth the time to read for the person who is relatively new to the idea of leadership or who is just looking for a fresh or new perspective."--T. Keith Sharp, The Journal of Youth Ministry, Spring 2015
