2012 Annual NALIP Conference

June 14-16, 2012

Presenter:
The Rev. Dr. Israel Galindo

Israel Galindo is Dean and Professor of Christian Formation and Leadership at the Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond. He is the author of numerous books, including The Hidden Lives of Congregations (Alban) and Perspectives on Congregational Leadership (Educational Consultants). He is a frequent speaker on the subject of leadership in organizations and congregations.

Topic:
New Perspectives on Leadership in Congregations

This series of presentations will focus on leadership in the congregational context. The concepts presented focus on the functioning of the leader and on interpreting the emotional process of congregations as informed by Bowen Family Systems. A key interpretive concept is that leadership is a function that is as much a product of the context in which it is situated (the emotional field) as it is of the individual called to the role.
