Rooted Leadership Video Study

Description

Rich Christian Theology for Leaders Marked by Character, Wisdom, and Competence.

We yearn for leadership marked by character, wisdom, and competence. Sadly, many leaders fall short in one or more of these areas, making them ineffective. In the Rooted Leadership Video Study, John E. Johnson explores how Christian theology provides a sound basis for healthy leadership. Building on three decades of research and experience as a global leader, Johnson surveys the landscape of contemporary leadership theory, unpacks the assumptions and beliefs that underlie current trends, and responds by offering a robust approach to leadership founded on the character, work, and words of God.
