PDN 515 Leader's Life and Work
This course examines the pivotal issues leaders face as they balance personal lives with
public lives, and personal convictions and values with the demands of their position. Included in this study are
topics such as the leader’s call and competencies, life-long learning habits, critical values and choices, biblical
servant leadership, use and abuse of authority, essential character qualities for effective leadership, and common
stumbling blocks to leadership. Authentic, transformational, team, and servant leadership theories are studied
in light of biblical examples, principles, and theological understandings of leadership.
