Leadership is, inherently, a management of tensions. The individual and (or versus!) community. Inclusions and boundaries. Structure and creativity. Each pulls at the other—helpfully at times, harmfully at other times, and always with complexity. Leadership scholar and author Sarah B. Drummond provides a framework for leading tension, intentionally, especially within religious communities and institutions.

The structure of the United Church of Christ, and its well-being, depends upon shared leadership: between ministers and congregations, between congregations, between believers with diverse life experiences, across regions with varied histories. That quality of collaboration is often understated – in contrast to the United Church of Christ’s more public pronouncements – yet the ethos of shared leadership may be one of the UCC’s greatest gifts to a secular world that is increasingly narrated by division and platform.
Cultivating Competence
The Ministry of Leadership Development

Institutions demand that leaders attend to a vast array of concerns on a daily basis. In an increasingly diverse, wired, and fast-paced leadership landscape, where problems are deep-seated and complicated, no one can manage leadership alone. Leaders must attend to their own leadership development just to keep their heads above water. They must also delegate their authority and entrust it to those around them. That said, handing over authority to those who lack adequate preparation can cause harm to the community. It can also burn out a person who could have contributed meaningfully to the community over years or decades. Delegation without preparation represents a failure of a leader to protect a community's assets.
The institutional leader must model that leadership can and must be learned, over time, through various disciplines that all start with taking leadership seriously. Then, they must provide opportunities, with however light a touch leads to positive results, for those in their care to grow in leadership. They must assume that even those who walk in the door with knowledge and experience are not "ready" for leadership today, for it is changing fast for everyone.

Field education is an opportunity for students to develop ministry skills, practice ministerial reflection, discern their call, experience professional collegiality, and undergo personal transformation. Field education offers them a place to practice ministry and a space to reflect on it, to integrate theory and practice, and grow towards competency. In Welcome to Theological Field Education! eleven directors of field education in seminaries and divinity schools across North America pass on their wisdom to both students and their supervisors. Edited by Matthew Floding, director of field education at Western Seminary in Holland, Michigan, this volume covers critical topics such as the art of supervision and formation, the use of case studies and peer reflection groups, self-care and ministerial ethics, and assessment. Formation for ministry is especially challenging at this time in the church's life. First, the explosion of knowledge, pluralism, and consumerism and a host of other complicating factors make huge demands on what a minister must know to be effective in ministry. Second, with the erosion of thick religious subcultures, the novice minister has fewer sources of practical wisdom to draw upon. The next generation of ministers, if they are to be more fully formed for ministry, depends on skilled mentoring alongside wise supervisors. This book is the tool to help them make the most of their field education experience.

In Holy Clarity, Sarah Drummond explores the most basic reason leaders of religious organizations conduct evaluations: To find and create God-pleasing clarity regarding the organization''s purpose and the impact of its activities. Leadership and evaluation are not separate disciplines, she argues. Effective leaders evaluate because they need to know what is happening in their organizations and how those activities are effecting change. Drummond first describes the way in which our postmodern culture makes clarity difficult to obtain. She then looks at holy clarity from a biblical and theological perspective and make the case that it is a spiritual discipline that can stand on its own theological merits. She presents four approaches to evaluation that can help a leader to guide a community toward greater clarity, both when evaluating or analyzing programs and when planning and starting programs. Finally, she considers the work of clarification as a faith practice, one that can make a pastor or layperson not just a better leader, but a better Christian who is more firmly grounded in God. Each chapter concludes with a fictional case study that provides a jumping-off point for discussion and helps bring her theory to life. Holy Clarity provides an accessible resource as an entry point for those who are eager to learn the best practices of this crucial discipline.
