Incoming leaders need a realistic perspective and practical ideas, whether their successor was long-term or interim, highly effective or dysfunctional, beloved or unpopular.The author writes from personal experience: He helped transform a small, dying congregation, and later transitioned into leadership at a nationally recognized, historic congregation. He draws from these experiences and biblical examples to focus on practical principles, empowering the new leader to build a solid foundation.The Next leader is calm, determined, and effective, no matter who came before.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51567632285983,"sku":"9781426751028","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9781426751028_1468091.jpg?v=1769289339","url":"https:\/\/koorong.com\/products\/next-395303","provider":"Koorong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
