The subject of leadership development seems to be on everyone’s lips. In response to this interest, and acknowledging the important role of leadership for world evangelization, the Lausanne Leadership Development Working Group was created.
In 2008 this working group launched a survey process to define Christ-centered leadership and describe what is most effective in building Christ-centered leaders. One unexpected outcome of the survey was the discovery that most of us think Christian leaders are doing a devastatingly poor job.
When asked to describe their worst experiences under Christian leaders, and what characteristics those poor leaders had, 1,000 leaders answering the survey said:

Keep in mind these words were not used to describe non-Christian leaders, but rather “Christian” leaders, or those who said they were “Christian.”
This conversation on Forming Leaders is designed to highlight and identify these problems in Christian leaders today, then respond by defining Christ-like leadership and discussing leadership development methods that help all of us who are leaders to grow in Christ-like qualities. Our hope is that understanding the problem and highlighting effective keys to the solution will enable more effective and lasting evangelism.
