Leadership—how would you define it? How can you be an effective leader? The Foundations in Effective Leadership course defines leadership as moving people from where they are to a better place. During this course you will discover how Jesus set the example of being a servant leader and what leadership principles can be learned from His example. But to be an effective servant leader you first need to look at yourself. The kind of person you are is the kind of leader you will be. Are you ready to become an effective servant leader? You can begin today.
- Provide a biblical definition of leadership.
- Describe characteristics of a servant leader.
- Show evidence of beginning to develop those characteristics.
- Discuss the basic principles behind six specific leadership models.
- Explain how those leadership models contribute to an understanding of servant leadership.
-
Leadership concepts is a theme that can always be explored and discovered.
-
Some of the best leadership concepts you will ever learn! Very practical & applicable.
-
Although this is a brief treatment of leadership, it is sufficient to challenge our previous views of leadership or those from the world, so as to heighten awareness and spearhead changes in my leadership style. The arrangement of material is very logical, and moves eventually towards application by way of practical models of a servant-leader in the second half of the course.
-
This is a good course to take in order to obtain a lot of useful information regarding different effective leadership styles and to come to understand a general definition of a leader. All of the styles discussed involve aspects of servant leadership, the type of leadership modeled by Jesus Christ.

I enjoyed learning about the concepts that Dr. Buzzell put forward on Leadership, most of which I had not come across before.

Thank you.
