Succession Planning: incoming leader

Succession Planning: The Incoming Successor

By Dr. David L. McKenna ~ A succession plan is not complete without considering the role of the incoming successor.

Lessons for Leaders: The Golden Rule by Wayne Pederson

By Wayne Pederson ~ We’ve all heard The Golden Rule, probably so many times that it loses its meaning. Basically, it’s “treat other people the way you want them to treat you.” I just realized how important that truth is for leaders. Remember how the workplace felt before you were the boss. Remember how you…

By Gary G. Hoag, Ph.D. ~ I just returned from teaching a class with seventeen students at Torch Trinity Graduate University in Seoul, South Korea, entitled Biblical Stewardship and Christian Generosity.

Succession Planning: The Departing Leader by Dr. David L. McKenna

By Dr. David L. McKenna ~ The departing leader is not a bit player in the drama of succession planning for a Christian organization. Quite to the contrary, unless he or she is a leader who assures the integrity of the office by being true to the trust and finishing the task, the process of…

Lessons for Leaders: Give It Away by Wayne Pederson

By Wayne Pederson I recently sold our home of 32 years. The garage and storage room was full of stuff we had set aside because we might “need it someday”. 30 years later, those indispensable filled the 8 yard dumpster I ordered. Interesting how the things we hang on to as indispensable become of little…

The Scope of a Steward Leader by Sara Nagelvoort Marlin

By Sara Nagelvoort Marlin Last year I joined a Christian ministry for the first time in my career, having spent more than twenty years in corporate marketing environments. Among my early observations was what seemed to be the “de rigueur” concept in Christian ministry:  steward leadership. Everyone was talking about it. Makes sense, I thought,…

Voices from Manila: The Power of Steward Leaders by R. Scott Rodin

By R. Scott Rodin I have just returned from teaching twenty-five students at Asian Theological Seminary in Manila on the Theology and Practice of the Steward Leader. I came away amazed and humbled by how powerfully the Holy Spirit worked in them during our days together. Listen to their voices and see if in them…

3 Profound Thoughts on Ownership and Giving by Mark Leavell

By Mark Leavell One of the common distinctives of Christian Stewardship is the principle that God owns everything. While you would be hard-pressed to find anyone among professing Christian Stewards who would disagree, it has been my observation  that in the real world of day to day living – this principle isn’t quite as clear…

An Interview with Tom Mullins After more than 20 years as pastor of Christ Fellowship Church in South Florida, the church he founded and grew to a multisite church of more than 40,000 people meeting on seven campuses around South Florida and online around the world, Tom Mullins passed the baton of leadership to his…

The Effectiveness of a Humble Leader by Jeremy Kingsley

By Jeremy Kingsley I suspect that the biggest factor, however, is a growing awareness that it works—and that it leaves everyone involved better off than zero-sum business philosophies where the winners end up on top and the losers don’t matter. At its heart, servant leadership is based on the simplest of concepts: Humility – by…
