Healthy Leadership Teams: Practical Help for Church and Ministry Leaders

0/5 ( ratings)

I read Dr. Barry Wissler’s new book Healthy Leadership Teams at one sitting. This exceptional book is based soundly on the scriptures and is filled with practical leadership wisdom. In fact, Barry’s “The Ten Commandments of Team Meetings” in chapter 5 is worth the price of the entire book. Barry draws from his many years of leadership both in the local church and as an apostolic leader to the nations. I highly recommend this book to all present and future church and ministry leaders, to members of leadership teams, and to anyone interested in growing as a leader. You will not be disappointed!

Healthy Leadership Teams is a compelling read, I didn't want to put the book down! A Biblical resource, though written for churches, Christian Ministries will also find it invaluable. Dr Barry Wissler has shared wisdom from years of experience that is endorsed by the excellent testimony of the church he led and most successfully passed to new leadership. This book carries the authenticity of one who is writing out of lessons learned. Barry carefully covers all aspects of creating teams. If you follow this guide you will have help to recognize those attitudes that will weaken your team and you will be encouraged with solid examples of how to develop the best in each team member. The message of the book carries a spirit of excellence that is applied in every situation. Healthy Leadership Teams will train the leader as well as the team. The practical application of the wisdom here is equally applicable to all church and ministry situations at home, overseas and all cultures. I heartedly recommend Healthy Leadership Teams.

When everything is said and done, leadership simply needs to work. Much that is written about leadership theoretical in nature and has not been proven by the author. What you’ll find in this book is biblical and practical leadership principles that work and have been refined in practice for many years.
Having personally worked with Barry for more than 20 years, I can say from first-hand experience that Barry applies the principles that he shares here, and they help leadership get done in an effective way. Barry’s simple and practical approach to writing will supply you and your leadership team with the foundational truths that will help your team go to the next level of leadership.

I highly recommend Barry’s new work, Healthy Leadership Teams. It’s a much-needed book for current and emerging leaders in the Body of Christ today. I’ve known Barry for many years and have seen him clearly live out these leadership principles in his own journey. Barry mixes a wonderful combination of spiritual insight and revelation with years of practical experience which has produced a guide that is full of wisdom for today’s Church. Our team at Prepare International will surely use many of these timeless but highly contemporary truths in our work around the world - a Must Read!

John Maxwell famously says, 'Teamwork makes the dream work.’ If you have a God-sized dream to impact lives for eternity, you will need a God empowered team to fulfill it. This book will give you an understanding and a framework to build healthy leadership structures and teams in your church or ministry.
I have been helped by Dr. Barry Wissler since my relationship began with him in 2003. He has personally helped me select my elder team, taught me how to apply the decision-making teamwork principles within this book that have helped Lifeway Church make a difference in our region of the world.
