Leadership Principles

What does it take to be a leader? What do leaders do? Are leaders born or made?

This unit will help students to find answers to these questions in the light of contemporary leadership theory and a Christian worldview. 

Students will discover a variety of leadership theories and learn how they apply in different contexts, such as ministry and business.
