High Quality Traditional Chinese "Learn Leadership To The Future" Change Leadership In The Age Of Changes Canoeing The Mountains: Christian Leadership In Uncharted Territory

Learn to explore the unknown and become a pioneer in leading the era of change.

Today, the nature of many problems and phenomena is completely different from the past. Whether it is the climate crisis, the contradiction between environmental protection and economic development, the social impact brought by the transformation of the population structure, or the challenges of inequality between the rich and the poor, it continues to impact our past cognition and solutions to problems. When the world is full of uncertainty and confusing unknowns, the thinking of "it was done this before" or "learning from past successful experiences" can no longer cope with unexpected situations and challenges. These challenges are calling us to develop adaptability and learn how to change.

In this context, the church must also undergo adjustment and renewal, learn to use new leadership tools, in order to lead the congregation to live out the mission given by God. Bowsinger, vice president of Fuller Theological Seminary and head of leadership cultivation, reviewed the cooperative leadership model of the American expedition "Louis and Clark", challenged the traditional strongman leadership thinking, and proposed a different transformational leadership model from the past: start with understanding unknown fields, make good use of the toolkit in known fields, and then lead in unknown fields, understand various relationships and resistances, and finally bring about change. Such a leadership model can develop adaptability to deal with changing realities and respond to Gods call for this generation.

Whether you are a pastor, elder, group leader, a business leader outside the church, a nonprofit organization, or even a Christian who is eager to live out the value of faith in the workplace, family or community, this book can guide you to learn to adapt and achieve the necessary changes in a changing environment! Are you ready to dig into your inner leadership, embrace the adventurous mindset, bravely walk into the unknown, and respond to Gods call Let us transform together, God's missionCore, take practical actions and become a pioneer in leading the era of change - and also a group we are called to live out our mission and witness.

Praise

When Fuller Seminary decided to start entering the unknown, we called and invited Bowsinger to join our leadership team. As long as you finish reading "Learn Leadership from the Future", you will immediately know why. Bowsinger has the mind of a scholar, the heart of a pastor, and has a wealth of leadership and consulting experience to be competent for this task. His ability to apply the most important organizational leadership textbooks to the daily challenges Christian leaders face is truly unmatched.

When he shared his leadership learning process, he also showed his weaknesses and reality, which resonated with him. This leadership book is exactly what the church today needs.

Mark Labberton (Dean of Fuller Theological Seminary, USA)

There are many books on the market that tell us that we need to change, and many books also put forward visions to let us see what a new church can look like, but few books mention how to help leaders control the complexity of leadership. This is a difficult task and is also indispensable in the changing world. Bowsinger's "Learning Leadership from the Future" combines theological perspectives, leadership theories, and related examples to provide everyone with the necessary principles that can help leaders face unfamiliar fields.

Dana S. Allin (English President of the Regional Council of Evangelical Presbyterians)

If you have not read "Learn from the Future", don't rush to row first. Change to land. In today's post-Christian world, we are all sailing in unknown waters, and the church needs to be innovative at every turning point. But the world is changing faster than us. How should we lead the change For those who devote themselves to the changing reality of the church today, but are deeply confused, Bowsinger provides a necessary view.

Meritt Lohr Sawyer (Executive Director of Paul Carlson Partnership, Evangelical Covenant Church)

How should pastors trained in the 20th century combine God's Word with the society in the 21st century when facing the drastic social changes in recent decades Bowsinger has created great tools for these pastors who serve in unknown fields... This is a very important new resource that every pastor and leader should read carefully.

Albert Erisman (Seattle Pacific University) CEO and author of The Accidental Executive (temporary translation))
