A leadership transition is a critical moment in the life of any ministry, organisation, or church. An effective succession leads to increased growth, higher revenue, expanded appreciation for and awareness of the ministry, multiplied enthusiasm among everyone involved, and greater kingdom impact. When it works, everyone wins.
Unfortunately, half of successions among Christian entities are either a disappointment or a downright failure. The price of a botched succession is enormous, both to the ministry and to the individuals involved. You do not want this to be your story.
Steve Woodworth is the CEO of Masterworks, the premier marketing agency serving Christian clients In the United States, and a former vice president of World Vision US. He has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly regarding succession and has conducted extensive interviews with respected ministry CEOs, presidents, board members, and pastors across the USA.
In his book ‘Lost in Transition’, Steve reveals candid inside stories of successions that both triumphed and flopped and explains the five critical factors you must understand to make your succession a success. During this interview-style webinar with CMA, we will draw out some of the hightlights from those interviews and stories, and unpack the five critical factors that help bring about an effective succession.
