Effective Ministerial Leadership
Abstract
Ministers of local congregations are in positions somewhat
similar to the chief executives of other local nonprofit
organizations, except that ministers are also expected to respond to
the specifically religious needs of their congregants. In this
article we assess how especially effective ministers in one
denomination differ from less effective ministers in both general
leadership skills and specifically religious leadership skills. The
especially effective ministers were identified by applying three
selection methods, resulting in an unusually careful selection of a
sample of especially effective leaders. The results show that the
especially effective are more skillful managers, problem solvers,
planners, delegators, change agents, shepherds, inspirers,
multitaskers, students, and servants and demonstrate themselves to
be persons of integrity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
