Synopsis

In today's world, as we experience global pandemics, economic disparity, and large-scale wars, the importance of good leadership has never been so vital. Good and effective Christian leadership is paramount to today's missions strategy, but during these times of crisis it is clear many mission organizations are falling short.

Leading Well in Times of Disruption seeks to understand and address the key shortcomings, and to provide a roadmap for leaders in global mission. Leadership development must not simply produce knowledgeable individuals, excellent in skill and technique, but those who are also Christ-like in character. In this essential work, seasoned leadership development specialists and practitioners from around the world offer comprehensive insights rooted in the gospel, to provide practical, actionable guidance for mission leaders, to transform the world around them.
