Leadership in Ministry: Bowen Theory in Congregational Context (2017)
Chapter: “Self-Differentiation and the Empowerment of Teams” (Chapter 21)
In a world of polarization or uniformity, there is a need for leaders who can stay connected and bridge relationally, while being anchored in a secure sense of self with integrity and value-driven conviction. Leading teams or any kind of community calls for high-character leaders who can also lead out of presence and connectedness with those around them. One of the keys to empowering teams is a leader who is rooted and responsive, not reactive. Chapter originally written in 2010.
