Leadership training can often assume that leaders have the authority to make the final decision. In reality, many of us lead teams, ministries, projects, or significant areas of an organisation while remaining accountable to someone else. How do we take genuine ownership without overstepping our authority? How do we influence senior leaders, work effectively across organisational boundaries, disagree constructively and exercise initiative without becoming independent? And how do we remain ambitious for the mission without becoming consumed by ambition for position?
Drawing on three decades of leadership experience, including senior leadership as Deputy CEO of London City Mission, this session will explore practical and biblical principles for exercising faithful and fruitful influence when we carry real responsibility—but are not ultimately in charge.
