Leaders Learning to Listen Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

Essential reading for just about any leader wishing to refresh their ministry. Many in church leadership roles understand the reality of Bonhoeffer s phrases, but there seem to be road blocks and barriers that get in the way of that sort of quality of hearing. We seem to live with the illusion that speaking and carrying out are more essential than listening. When confronted with all the many issues for the church the temptation is perfect for more approaches for achievement, more pressure to turn items around. Hearing in whatever form easily gets marginalized. Here, Chris Edmonson outlines why listening is so necessary to good leadership. He looks at the barriers to good communication, at the importance of silence and stillness, as well as the issues of hearing those from whom we differ. He stresses the essential components of discernment and prophecy, searching closely at what those terms really mean, and will be offering some practical ways forward for market leaders wishing to create a more listening culture within their church communities.
