You too may feel that you are leading in a cultural context that you were not expecting. You may even feel that your training hold you back more often than it carries you along.
Drawing from his extensive experience as a pastor and a consultant, Tod Bolsinger brings decades of experience in guiding churches and organisations through unchartered territory. A combination of illuminating insights and practical tolls will help you to reimagine what effective leadership looks like in out rapidly changing world.
