Passing the Torch: Leadership Development in Your Congregation

• Understand how congregational leadership differs from leadership in corporations or non-religious non-profit organizations.
• Imagine paths to leadership in your congregation as part of a larger plan of faith formation
• Encourage a culture that nurtures new leaders that include youth, young adults and people of color
• Develop a community of learning and reflection that appreciates new ideas and is patient with the small failures that come with innovation
• Advance your seasoned leaders into new roles where they nurture new leaders
• Develop a three year plan to help guide your congregation through this transformation

This is a short, sample course that does not have quizzes, live sessions or an in-person component. There is no charge for this course, but you must be a registered participant on the UU Leadership Institute website.
