Freed To Lead - Be The Leader God Created You To Be (The Hayes Centre)

All leaders want to be the best they can be. But the truth is that you can read as many "how to" books as you like and still not be a truly effective leader. People don't follow leaders who use the right techniques. They follow leaders who are authentic and real.

Christian leaders have a huge advantage over others because they have become new creations in Christ. You know that already, of course, but in this retreat you will be surprised as you are helped to take the truths of this new identity much deeper so that you can learn to lead as the new person in Christ that you are.

Identity-based leadership helps to free us from drivenness and burnout, enables us to survive personal attacks and use conflict positively and enables us to overcome other barriers to effective leadership.

The content has been put together by Rev Dr. Rod Woods, senior pastor at City Temple, London, and a Trustee of Freedom In Christ Ministries. Rod speaks from personal experience of leadership in 3 churches on both sides of the Atlantic and has experienced practically how identity-based leadership enabled him not only to survive prolonged conflict but turn it around completely to growth.

This event is not just for church leaders but for Christians who are leaders in any sphere.

Speakers: Rod Woods and Steve Goss
