Complete competency syllabus and all reading materials

In order for an organization or ministry to reach its potential in fulfilling its purpose leaders need to be proactive in assessing where the organization is at, what obstacles are in the way and then guide a renewal process that includes recasting the vision, setting realistic goals, making a plan to achieve those goals and then taking the steps to implement these changes. This process is not a one-time event, but an ongoing process for leadership and the organizations which they lead. Without a working knowledge of how to design and implement a strategic plan, leaders and their organizations will flounder and never reach their potential.

Description

CLI – Christian Leadership Institute: Module 5.0 Organizational Life

The competencies in this module all reflect the understanding and skills a leader requires to deal with the bigger picture of their particular ministry context. In essence, organizations have characteristics of organisms and leaders need to understand how the culture of their context either encourages or discourages the shared values and goals of the individuals making up the organization as well as the organization as a whole, as an organism. Being able to analyze these factors and learn the basics of organizational development are critical for the leader to serve the organization by helping it achieve its intended purpose.
