In this Unit, we will examine and reflect on a range of topics directly relevant to effective, contemporary missional leadership.

We will reflect upon and seek to understand biblical and theological foundations of mission-focused leadership and explore contemporary leadership models within traditional ‘ministry’ contexts and, more broadly, across various settings and vocational contexts. We will examine how to lead missionally in postmodernism, globalisation, culture, diversity, vocation, and disruptive events as a context for developing effective, authentic, agile and fruitful models of Christian leadership. Finally, we will reflect on how spirituality, character, imagination, and creativity shape our leadership, our influence on others, and the systems and structures within organizations that either stimulate or restrict effective and empowering leadership.

After successfully completing this Unit, you will be able to appreciate and understand how to develop as a leader with greater missional effectiveness, fruitfulness, discernment, spiritual fulfilment, and transformation impact.
