What does it mean to be a spiritual leader in the 21st
century?
The world is full of leaders. But today�s society is crying out for spiritual leaders: men and
women who lead with wisdom, guidance, and power that come from the soul. And as the
twenty-first century dawns with mysteries and complexities none of us have yet experienced, our
need for authentic spiritual leaders only grows deeper.
More than just a manual for using organizational skills and influence, this book defines what true
spiritual leadership is and why it is more vital now than ever before. Using biblical examples,
author Alan E. Nelson explores issues such as:
- Integrating how you rely on God with how you lead
- Being spiritually in tune with God and living under His direction
- Recognizing the greatest problems a leader faces and how to solve them
- Discerning the warning signs of a spiritual downfall
- Conflict managing without soul damaging
- Handling criticism, confrontation, and compromise
Whether you are serving in a leadership role or preparing for one, developing leadership
abilities in others or cultivating them in yourself, Spirituality & Leadership will take you from
where you are to where you want to be.
