Publisher's Synopsis
This book discusses the pros and cons of styles of leadership, from the perspectives of psychology, sociology, group dynamics, management studies - and always from a sound theological base. It is relevant not just to Church leadership, but also to political leaders and power structures throughout society. It is perceptive and constructive, showing how authority can be liberating and creative allowing those led to develop - which is not what they many who seek for firm pronouncements from those in power are looking for. As Robert Runcie said on his enthronement, "If the Church gives Jesus Christ's sort of lead it will not be popular".;It is aimed at professionals and general readership, especially Anglicans and those finding themselves in positions of authority in church and society.
