Fostering Leadership Skills in Ministry: A Parish Handbook - Jean Marie Hiesberger
As Christians, we aspire to live our lives with Jesus Christ as our model. This lifelong process of studying Jesus is especially important for those who are leaders in the Christian community. Jesus described his style of leadership as that of a servant. He consistently put himself at the service of others. Now parish leaders - pastors, pastoral administrators, parish council members, associate pastors and pastoral ministers, principals, directors of religious education, and volunteer coordinators, whether salaried or volunteer - have a guide for developing and fostering a leadership style based on Jesus' qualities of listening and responding to others; creating a vision; being authentic and compassionate; forgiving others; being straightforward and generative; being inclusive, especially of those who are alienated and marginalized; empowering others; and being a person of integrity. Fostering
