Download Leaders Learning to Listen AudioBook Free
Essential listening for any leader wishing to renew their ministry. Many in cathedral leadership roles know the reality of Bonhoeffer's words, but there seem to be road blocks and obstacles that block the way of that sort of quality of hearing. We seem to live a life with the illusion that speaking and doing are more important than hearing. In the face of all the countless issues for the cathedral the temptation is good for more strategies for success, more pressure to carefully turn things around. Listening in whatever form easily gets marginalized. Here, Chris Edmonson outlines why hearing is so necessary to good management. He looks at the obstacles to good communication, at the importance of silence and stillness, and the issues of listening to those from whom we change. He emphasizes the essential components of discernment and prophecy, looking strongly at what those conditions really mean, and offers some sensible ways frontward for leaders wishing to create a more listening culture in their cathedral communities.
