Dancing with Cinderella: Leading a Healthy Church Transition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781946093035)

Any vision that underestimates the importance of leadership transition is incomplete. After all, God's purposes have longer shelf lives than His leaders. Dancing with Cinderella outlines several core principles drawn from Jeff Harlow's leadership transition as the senior pastor of a church of over 3000 members. It serves to help other leaders navigate the organizational, relational, and emotional details of a leadership transition without losing momentum. It doesn't matter if you're the leader of a small or large church, old or plant church, traditional or contemporary church, obscure or iconic church; an unhealthy leadership transition hurts people and cripples mission.Jeff's story will help a leader, the leadership teams, and the members of a church think through the principles of transition as they prepare for the exit of a current pastor and the entrance of their new leader. This book addresses many of the questions that a transition raises: - Why are transitions so hard?- What is really at the heart of the transition?- How do the objectives of a leader change after the transition starts?- How do departing leaders define future boundaries?In these pages you can discover how to do transition right, so you don't have to figure out why it went wrong.
