Strategies for transforming a toxic church culture Why is it that the best strategic plans and good leadership often are not able to move churches in the desired direction? Sam Chand contends that toxic culture is to blame. Quite often, leaders don't sense the toxicity, but it poisons their relationships and derails their vision. This work describes five easily identifiable categories of church culture (inspiring-accepting-stagnant-discouraging-toxic), with diagnostic descriptions in the book and a separate online assessment tool. The reader will be able to identify strengths and needs of their church's culture, and then apply practical strategies (communication, control and authority, selection and placement of personnel, etc.) to make their church's culture more positive. <ul>
<li>Discusses how to diagnose the state of a church's culture</li> <li>Reveals what it takes to put in place effective strategies for creating a more positive church culture</li> <li>Author served on the board of EQUIP (Dr. John Maxwell's Ministry), equipping five million leaders world-wide.</li> </ul>
This important book offers a clear guide for understanding and recreating a healthy church culture.

Who Moved Your Ladder?

Twenty Godly Men and Women Who In this book twenty Godly men and women who experienced failure tell their story! Has anyone told you the price of success? It is failure! Failure - who wants to talk about it? No one. In our success driven environment, we seldom realize that success is a process - a process that journeys right through the heart of failure. All success is born out of the pangs of failure. And that bring existential issues to the surface: "Who really loves me for me, and not for what I can do for them?" "Is there someone who knows me, with whom I'm totally transparent?" "If I missed a church service, would anyone notice and call me?" Failure: The Womb of Success is refreshing. It drips with honest confessions and condor. So, put down your guard, relax, and enjoy a most candid journey through this exploration of our humanity. The purpose of this book is to encourage you to stay in the race and not give up. You may fail, but you are not a failure. Events do not define you. Failure is not final; it's only an event!

8 Steps to Achieve Your Destiny: Lead Your Life with Purpose

8 pasos para alcanzar tu destino: Lidera tu vida con propósito (Spanish Edition)

El renombrado consultor de liderazgo, Samuel R. Chand, detalla el recuento de la construcción del Canal de Panamá, y traza paralelos entre ella y la metodología del liderazgo exitoso. “Más pasión no es la respuesta, y sueños más grandes no siempre son la solución. Cada líder se hace dos preguntas: ¿Cómo podemos crecer? ¿Cómo podemos crecer más rápido? La única manera que las organizaciones pueden ser más grandes y moverse más rápido es acelerando la excelencia de sus sistemas y estructuras”, dice Chand en este libro. Una epifanía durante una visita al Canal de Panamá llevó a Chand, una de las voces más respetadas en el ministerio y el liderazgo, a aportar nuevas visiones al ciclo de vida de las organizaciones empresariales y eclesiásticas. Simplemente, el tamaño y la velocidad de una organización son controladas por sus sistemas y estructuras.       //      Well-known leadership consultant Samuel R. Chand details the account of the construction of the Panama Canal, and draws parallels between it and successful leadership methodology. “More passion isn’t the answer, and bigger dreams aren’t always the solution. Every leader is asking two questions: How can we grow? How can we grow faster? The only way organizations can grow bigger and move faster is by accelerating the excellence of their systems and structures.” An epiphany during a visit to the Panama Canal led Sam Chand, one of the country’s most respected voices on ministry and marketplace leadership, to bold new insights on the life cycle of business or church organizations. Simply: The size and speed of an organization are controlled by its systems and structures.
