Synopsis
Leadershipdemands constant reframing and reappraisal of the situation at hand. Itrequires focus, objectivity, honest appraisal of self and others, andevaluation of available resources. An effective Christian church leadermust also align the congregation’s vision and practices with God’svision and the teachings of Christ. Perhaps most importantly, the churchleader must love others.AuthorCharles Stone uses recent neuroscience research to show how basic brainprocesses affect leadership. He writes in layperson’s language, withmemory-boosting illustrations and acronyms, helping readers to increaseproductivity, handle stress, create and sustain healthy teams, andmanage change in the church. Brain science complements and reinforcesChristian teaching on life and leadership; Brain-Savvy Leaders equips readers to use that science as a tool for improvement for life and for the church.
