{"product_id":"9781575677866","title":"Team Leadership In Christian Ministry: Using Multiple Gifts to Build a Unified Vision","description":"'Team leadership is the exercise of one's spiritual gifts under the call  of God to serve a certain group of people in achieving the goals God has given them  toward the end of glorifying Christ.'How is your church or organization governed?   Does it have an authoritarian, top-down administration?  Is the ministry vision  developed by a few top officials, with little input from staff or volunteers? Today  the definition of an effective leader has changed.  No longer does the model leader  manage like the Lone Ranger - either do it his way or no way.  Today the model leader  shares responsibility with fellow team leaders and seeks to serve them. In this  complete revision of his earlier work, Building Leaders for Church Education, Dr.  Gangel carefully lays a biblical foundation for the team leadership model.  This  leadership is not dogmatic control or personality worship.  It has no room for political  power plays.  Instead, it is Paul gently nurturing young Christians in his epistles.   It is Barnabas willingly thrusting others into situations where they develop their  own gifts.  It is Christ, choosing not one, but twelve men to carry on His ministry.   It is servant leadership. With examples, illustrations, and suggestions for further  reading at the end of each chapter, Dr. Gangel prods and encourages the reader to  move beyond the safety net of autocratic leadership into the rewarding, effective  practice of leading with and through others.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Moody Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128690295024,"sku":"9781575677866","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781575677866_p0.jpg?v=1763795386","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781575677866","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
