Brain-Savvy Leaders

Leadership is tough. Church leadership can be even tougher. Leadership demands constant reframing and reappraisal of the situation, focus, objectivity, honest appraisal of yourself and others, and astute evaluation of available resources. Church leadership is all that and more. To be an effective church leader, you also have to love and have others' best interest at heart. You have to align yourself and your church with God's desire to transform lives for the better, both within and beyond your reach. Using up-to-date research from brain science in easy-to-understand language, author Charles Stone will help you increase your personal productivity, handle stress and your emotions in constructive ways, create and sustain collaborative teams, and manage change in your church. Using illustrations and acronyms, Dr. Stone will show you how brain science can complement and reinforce what the Bible says about life and leadership. He will show you how basic brain processes affect leadership and your team's ability to follow while becoming more cohesive and collaborative. Each chapter gives practical tips and actionable steps to help leaders improve personal and organizational skills.Read less
