Leadership Is a Combination of Art and Science Effective leaders are people who are always studying their strengths and weaknesses and examining the strategies that can make them better in what they do. They realize that change is possible, but also that most change is hard. Transformational leadership involves acquiring the skills and knowledge to help create positive change in the world around us. But it also involves a deep look within. Transformation is a continuous process that forces leaders to examine themselves and ask in what ways do we need to allow God to change us so that we become more compassionate, caring people? In "Transformational Leadership," pastor and author Charles Bugg warns us that this journey is not for the faint of heart. It is not for those who believe leadership is merely learning a set of skills. Transformational leadership is the call to allow God to change us, the church, and the church's calling to the world.
