BMAL 702 Leadership Theory

The evaluation of concepts of leadership and management from the perspective of theories and applied biblical integration is important in making effective decisions. The most effective decisions that leaders can make are those that are biblically sound, and therefore, will have long-term benefits and broad ramifications. In our world of constant change, it is important that leaders have a character-based, principle-centered approach to developing themselves, their teams, and their organizations. The understanding of these truths and the ability to choose the best course of action with influence and synergy is critical for leaders to implement enduring, biblically-based strategies for sustainability and growth.
