Leaders Who Last: Sustaining Yourself and Your Ministry by Margaret J. Marcuson

Can Leading Be Easier?

Church leadership does not have to be a recipe for burnout. There is an easier way, one that is doable, effective, and sustainable. It is counter-intuitive, though, so help is needed to get it right. Leaders Who Last: Sustaining Yourself and Your Ministry is one way to get that help.

Learn how you can:

Be more of a leader and less of a controller

Adopt a new system of seeing yourself and those you lead

Focus on yourself and your resources rather than trying harder to help, fix, or change others
Respond to others with more clarity, calm and creativity

Remain more thoughtful during challenge and crisis

Increase your influence without increasing your workload

Reduce your overall stress about congregational life

"Deftly employing systems theory, Marcuson offers constructive guidance for those who desire to persevere in vocations that require clear self-understanding, practiced methods of leading, and spiritual maturity. I found many creative insights about crisis management as well as long-term strategies for enhancing the well being of institutional life."
