Book Description
The purpose of this DMin project was to engage in qualitative research in equipping senior leaders at First Baptist Church of Merced in leadership behaviors that would cultivate potential leaders. The study was successful in producing people who were cultivated with effective leadership behaviors for potential leadership positions by equipping the people in existing senior leadership positions. For the process to be undertaken subsequently in this researcher’s congregation, the first Leadership Lab and the book studied during the mentoring phase needed to change. For other congregations to benefit from the process, additional instructions would need to be provided. Even under its current form, the project accomplished all of its goals. The project utilized a multi-phased approach to methodology. There was a survey and focus group discussion preceding a Leadership Lab involving the people in existing senior leadership positions. The purpose of the first phase was equipping the people in existing senior leadership positions with the skill necessary to equip others. In the second phase, the people in existing senior leadership positions recruited mentees to cultivate them for effective leadership behaviors in potential leadership positions. A “Field Guide” was provided for the mentors, and data were recorded through bi-weekly meetings of the researcher with the mentors and “Field Guides,” “Leadership Profiles,” focus groups, and formal and informal interviews. The results were evaluated, and modifications for future use were presented.
