Mastering Transitions in Leadership & Life

Foreword by Dave Ramsey. Navigating the tectonic cultural shifts that are reshaping our world is a matter of life and death for ministry. Only those who are willing to maneuver these changes will have a sustainable impact. Drawing on his extensive experience and using the biblical story of Joseph as an extended metaphor, Bishop Joseph Walker shares practical wisdom to help leaders reach out and equip their church to share a relevant Christian message.

Shifting approaches to follow where God leads can mean that leaders have to risk confronting cherished tradition, which Bishop Paul Morton calls "frozen success." However, this delicate balance also acknowledges history while being sensitive to those loyal people who have sustained the organization. Effective leadership does not simply impose new ideas upon old systems without a strategy that enables everyone in the organization to move forward together.

Successful organizations do not forget their history, but they commit themselves to using it as a bridge to propel them to their destiny. Dealing with cultural and congregational shifts are life and death. Our world isn't slowing down, so only those who are willing to maneuver the tectonic cultural shifts will have sustainable ministry.

From his extensive experience and using the biblical story of Joseph as an extended metaphor, Bishop Joseph Walker shares practical wisdom designed to help leaders reach out and equip their church to share a relevant Christian message. Shifting approaches to follow where God leads can also mean that leaders have to risk confronting cherished tradition, which Bishop Paul Morton calls "frozen success." But shifting to meet new opportunities is also a delicate balance that acknowledges history while also being sensitive to those loyal people who have sustained the organization to this point.

Effective leadership does not impose new ideas upon old systems without a strategy that enables everyone in the organization moving forward together. It's not simply, "out with the old and in with the new." Successful organizations do not forget their history, but they commit themselves to using it as a bridge to propel them to their destiny.
