Principles of Priesthood Leadership

One of the significant challenges facing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as it moves into the twenty-first century is that of preparing and training Church members to be effective in moving forward the work of the Lord. In Principles of Priesthood Leadership, respected Church leader and experienced teacher Stephen D. Nadauld describes those characteristics and principles that will shape effective leaders. Specifically, he describes those characteristics that differentiate leaders from managers. Chief among the responsibilities and capabilities of a good leader is understanding the plan of salvation and resolving to teach the plan to those over whom you preside. Likewise, Brother Nadauld explains, is the importance of ward and stake leaders fostering their relationships with the youth of the Church. In fact, he writes, a ward in which the youth are a bishop's first priority is a ward that excels. Full of valuable insight for leaders, Principles of Priesthood Leadership is certain to become a widely used reference and worthy leadership tool that will prove effective at all levels of Church leadership, from deacon's quorum adviser to bishopric to Primary president.
