Hi,
I have been reading your book Vital Signs and really enjoying it. My corporate background inlcuded a focus on culture, vision, and leadership. It appears to be more difficult to change culture in a church setting than it does the corporate world.
Does one of your other books specically address pastoral and lay leader leadership theories and competencies? I have written a book on leadership, and on the surface it appears there is little difference between effective church and corporate leadership. Except of course, discernment. But maybe one could agrue the best leaders are consulting God in the corporate world as well.
I live in Green Bay, WI. Once you start with the WI conference, maybe can get get together. I have lots to ask you about. Hope to have the chance to meet you.
Dave, I look forward to meeting and talking with you. I think you are right on target about some of the core similarities between the corporate and church world. I have been working on a book on clergy/laity collaborative leadership theory, however, after Discipleship Resources accepted the proposal, they pulled the plug on it when they decided to exit the print resource industry — so it languishes unfinished on a shelf. But I will be glad to talk with you about it… and don’t be surprised if you see chapters pop up here on the blog from time to time.
Thanks for the quick reply. Your “on-the-shelf” book is of great interest to me. I will follow up with you in July after you begin your new assignment.
Dave
