Effective Elders: Creating the Future Together

Effective Elders is the second of three volumes devoted to equipping leaders in the local church (Successful Shepherds, Effective Elders, and Organized Overseers). Rather than addressing specific situations elders must handle, this book highlights five essential traits for handling any situation that may arise. If you are temperate, you have the emotional equilibrium to work well with people. If you are a team player, you value and complement the strengths of your teammates. If you are tenderhearted, you are less likely to abuse people and power. If you are transparent, you are more trusted and productive. If you are transformative, you are both successful and significant.
