WHEN IT COMES TO LEADERSHIP, THERE IS A PERFECT MODEL

“After studying both the theory and practice of leadership for more than 35 years, I have found that Jesus is the greatest leadership model of all times.”
Ken Blanchard
Co-founder, The Center for Faithwalk Leadership and Co-author, The One-Minute Manager

The first Lead Like Jesus Celebration Simulcast on November 20, 2003 , motivated and inspired participants to look into their lives and become more like Jesus in their leadership. The second Lead Like Jesus Celebration on April 29, 2004 , will build on this foundation and go even deeper into the model of servant leadership.

For a follower of Jesus, servant leadership isn't just an option; it's a mandate. A leader is anyone who has influence over another - whether in a church, a workplace, a family, a group or a team. Each individual has different spheres of influence and the Lead Like Jesus Celebration is for everyone!

Lead Like Jesus will equip you, your church, and your community to experience Jesus in a powerfully different way -- to grow to trust Him as the perfect leader for all time.

The program will center around four key areas in leadership:

•  HEART - Intention and Motivation

•  HEAD - Belief and Theories about Leadership

•  HANDS - Leadership Methods and Behavior

•  HABITS - Strategies to redirect our commitment to Lead Like Jesus everyday

If you experienced the first Lead Like Jesus Celebration on November 20, 2003 , then you already know the impact this event will have on your church. If you are new to the Lead Like Jesus movement, join us on April 29 for a day of training and inspiration that will make a profound difference in your life and the lives of those you lead!
