7 Essentials for Leading Change Wisely
From years of walking with leaders around the world, we’ve learned that leading effective change includes seven essentials.
Leading Change for the Sake of the Mission of God
Even when leaders see the vision clearly, leading change is rarely simple. The vision may be simple, but the work of leading change is hard.
Stepping Forward with the Vision
Stepping forward with vision means aligning time, energy, resources, and leadership with what advances the kingdom vision.
Sharing the Vision
Sharing the vision is about inviting God’s people into the kingdom vision for this time and place–the bigger picture and their place in it.
Forming the Vision
Forming the vision for your church is not like assembling a product; it is a picture that God slowly brings into focus.
