PMIN 3833 - ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR & LEADERSHIP STYLES

A theology of leadership is developed upon which current trends in church organization and leadership techniques are assessed. The history of organizational and management theory is developed, as well as organization, leadership, and group process theories. Planning, programming, budgeting, and evaluation are considered in relation to congregational programs. Other areas of management are presented on an introductory basis, such as planning and managing change in an organization, systems analysis, conflict management, and review of leadership traits. This course requires careful study of and reflection upon the appropriate biblical texts.
