The Leader's Journey shows how to strengthen congregational leadership by focusing on the church leader's internal transformational process. It combines the best of two views of leadership - leadership as personal transformation and leadership as organizational development.The authors outline a practical, programmatic process to help leaders engage in personal change and thereby become more effective church leaders. This process is based on the best of Bowen Family Systems theory on the differentiation of self and on cutting edge leadership research. The book builds on the work of lead author Jim Herrington's Leading Congregational Change (0-7879-4765-2) but this volume focuses on the leader rather than the organization.
