LEADERSHIP FROM THE SHEPHERD'S PERSPECTIVE

Leadership from the Shepherd's Perspective explores the biblical concept of shepherd leadership and the belief that the timeless model of the shepherd applies, as does God's Word – everywhere one influences and impacts others. From the board room to on-site indigenous team members and volunteers, from the office to the field, and first-world to third-world countries, shepherding is imperative to effectively influencing, impacting, and leading from a fully biblically-based perspective.

The shepherd leadership principle is grounded in the three pivotal elements of Provision, Protection, and Presence. Participants will explore a shepherd's responsibilities for leading literal sheep during this course. They will dive into their personal leadership experiences, dig into Scripture to translate biblical principles into immediately applicable and practical behaviors, and create a customized Shepherd's Operating Manual.
