Servant Leadership Models for Your Parish offers practical wisdom based on solid research about the practice of servant leadership. Models created from church-based research  seven behaviors practiced by leaders and members in a servant-led organization, seven "keys" that explain why servant leadership works, and many real-life examples that describe how servant leadership works.  The main message here is that if the leader serves the people, the mission and the organization, the people will serve each other, the mission and the organization.

Focusing on the inward and outward aspects of leadership, the book integrates a well-known Bible passage with practical insights from the author's experience in nurturing faith-driven leaders across various sectors. Each chapter starts with Scripture and explores virtues linked to the Beatitudes while tackling challenges such as mission alignment, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and team dynamics. It offers actionable strategies for enhancing communication, fostering innovation, and effectively guiding change, making it a valuable resource for leaders seeking personal and organizational growth.
