This book shares the LEAD (Leadership Enrichment and Development) method, a framework for supporting and facilitating leadership identity development for women in higher education. Guided by feminist group processes and relational learning, the chapters in this volume illustrate the impacts of self- and peer mentorship on the authors. Part lived experience, part reflection on scholarship on women’s leadership development, this book has implications for those in leadership development settings across professional sectors and career trajectories, offering strategies, implications, and insights for those developing or seeking to learn about peer mentoring programming for women faculty. Women faculty, leadership development coaches, faculty development leaders, directors of centers for teaching excellence, program leaders focused on girls’ and women’s leader development, and students and scholars interested in women’s leadership development in higher education will find this volume of interest. While LEAD’s context is higher education, the volume offers valuable application to other professional settings where women work, lead, and thrive.

As Leadership goes, so goes the group, the organization, the nation, et al. Yet in spite of this multi-millennial axiom and the simple fact that we are the best leadershipeducated society in the history of business, our encounters with genuine leaders remain extremely rare. Real Leadership! Are You Ready? examines this perplexing phenomenon and qualifies the problem as an unwillingness and/or inability to use new leadership information to improve our performance. It also provides the solution: a Leadership Enrichment LIFE-cycle (LEL-c) to help individuals and organizations build and sustain durable Leadership Platforms. If you are ready to enrich your personal leadership and raise the level of leadership in your organization, this book is for you. But I caution you ahead of time—this book and its measures of merit are a little different than the typical leadership development offering. It won’t offer instant solutions or allow for a casual engagement by the passive reader. No! It offers much more than that. The principal measure of merit for Real Leadership! Are You Ready? is the extent to which it will steal you and your organization away from the impersonal and futile trappings of fake leadership and enable you to move toward the personal and productive outcomes of Real Leadership. With your commitment and this book as a guide, the personal and organizational platforms that emerge will not only provide better support for the weight of those who choose to follow your lead, they will actually be able to withstand the world’s difficult tests of time and torrent.

John Maxwell, an expert on leadership, stated: "Everything rises and falls on Leadership." Mung is a Christian spiritual leader who contributes one of the highest achieving ministries in Myanmar. The leadership challenges that the Myanmar Christianity is facing today, both internally and externally, are the leaders of Mung's generation who are reaching their senior years, and often the churches disregard the need for spiritual leadership enrichment. These unforeseen predicaments demand new assumptions and models that will enhance leadership development. Subsequently, Mung's life-story and his leadership experiences were studied for the next spiritual leadership development in the Asian-Myanmar context. There are four reasons for writing this book. First, Mung's life-story will encourage the younger generation to develop Christian spiritual leadership in Myanmar. Mung's life-story would supply criteria for spirituality and reveal certain spiritual leader's life-story for the next generations' spiritual leadership of Myanmar. The urgency and preparation of developing next spiritual leaders would take much of its cue from Mung's life-story interview findings.Second, this book will help the Myanmar Christian leaders, particularly from a Buddhist background to adopt the value of Christian spiritual leadership practices. It will help Asian leaders, especially Myanmar, to be more effective and will be relevant in enriching leadership practices in neighboring countries. Third, this book will impact the diaspora Myanmar Christian communities in different parts of the world a better understanding of Mung's life-story and leadership. As Mung's leadership practices achieved Christian spirituality, this material is significant in identify-ing Mung's spiritual leadership practices. Fourth, the readers from around the world will understand the value of a Christian spiritual leader particularly in the process of the next spiritual leadership development in the ministry. Spiritual leadership is directly relevant to the ministry and mission of the church and essential for global Christianity. Finally, there are four reasons for choosing Pastor Mung for this book is: 1.Mung currently has a greater impact on Myanmar Christianity, 2.Mung's ministry is inter-denominational so as his leadership influence is, 3.Mung is willing to contribute his life-story to this book, and 4.Mung's life-story inspires leadership development for the next leadership development.

Down through the centuries church leaders have studied the Gospels to discover patterns of leadership development that can be applied to their own context. Yet the word leader does not appear in the Gospels...Could it be that leadership has more to do with learning to follow than learning to command, supervise, or mange? On right attitudes than on mastery of certain skills?...Many of the insights we need are embedded in the images which Jesus used to describe his followers. So David W. Bennett introduces his stimulating and scholarly study previously published under the title 'Biblical Images for Leaders and Followers.' He examines the many images and metaphors in the Gospels relating to how disciples follow Jesus, and in turn influence others. Then he moves on to survey much of the evidence to be found in the images of the rest of the New Testament. Finally, he draws some judicious conclusions for an understanding of Christian leadership in our own day. The author has considerable cross-cultural experience, having taught church leaders in Japan, India, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Tanzania, and Kenya, in addition to pastoring churches in California, Oregon and Massachusetts. He has also traveled and done research among church leaders in Malawi, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Korea, Thailand, Russia and the Czech Republic. His aim is to stimulate thought on these questions in churches all over the world, not just in the west.

Pastors and church leaders are in need of mature, godly elders to ensure church health, but the training of elders is often entirely missing or badly neglected. What if there were a process to proactively call and train elders? The New Elder's Handbook is designed to equip elders with the knowledge, character, and skills the office calls for. It takes church leaders through the development of a vision for ministry, recruitment of elders to carry out that vision, and specific, biblical training, providing a way to be intentional about developing elders.
