Coming to Terms LEADERSHIP
Coming to Terms TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP

A Hypothesis The church both yearns for and resists effective leadership, particularly leadership that is transformational in nature.
Table Discussions • In what ways do you see or sense people yearning for leadership? • In what ways do you see or sense people resisting leadership?

Table Discussions • Why do we want to grow as a church? • Is the “why” strong enough for us to go through processes of change and conflict? How do we know?
A Key Premise People do not resist change, per se. People resist loss. (Leadership on the Line, Ronald Heifetz and Marty Linsky)
An Overwhelming Sense of Loss Loss of members
An Overwhelming Sense of Loss Loss of the congregation’s central place in the lives of members

An Overwhelming Sense of Loss Loss of status within communities
An Overwhelming Sense of Loss Loss of stability

An Overwhelming Sense of Loss Loss of energy, vitality, and passion for ministry
An Overwhelming Sense of Loss Loss of identity
