Leadership: Marketplace
Leadership and management in Christian ministry is essential. This course will develop a toolbox for leadership and management in a Christian context - personal and time management, developing vision, leading change, conflict resolution, human resource management, volunteers, church accounts and financial management.
Prerequisite: 30 credits in Bible & Theology OR Permission of Dean of Undergraduate Studies .
Christian
leaders know that the Bible is not the only textbook on the subject of
leadership. However, accessing the wisdom from elsewhere has never been
easy. That’s why we have added this course to the curriculum. At Carey
we are serious about training leaders. A course on spiritual leadership
exists, exploring biblical and missional perspectives ... and now we
are adding this complementary one which draws on the wisdom available
in the marketplace.
* NB - In addition to this cost Martyn will be using a leadership
evaluation system - the ‘Leadership Practices Inventory’ - as a
requirement within the course. All students will be asked to pay
approx. $50 towards the cost of this resource.
