A handbook of guiding principles for those involved at any level in Christian leadership, from churches and educational institutions to missionary organizations and other parachurch ministries.

Maybe you've shied away from leadership because you don't know what it will involve, or you feel too unsure of your own abilities. But your leadership is needed! Designed to work well on your own, with a partner or with a group, this twelve-session workbook is the essential preparation tool for those who would be led and shaped by Christ to lead others with strength and wisdom.

5 Leadership Essentials will guide Christian laywomen to develop fundamental skills in moving projects forward, leading other women, and changing the world for Christ. The five key leadership areas addressed are group building, communication skills, relationship skills, conflict management, and time management. Written by women who are experienced leaders, 5 Leadership Essentials also includes discussion questions and learning exercises at the end of each chapter.
