The 4 C's of Effective, Reciprocal Leadership

1. Character (generates trust on the part of followers).
2. Conviction (helps the congregation discern its purpose and vision).
3. Competency (helps the congregation function as a healthy system—i.e., deal with the normal anxieties and conflicts of communal life in healthy and productive ways).
4. Confluence (of the leader, congregation, time, place, ministry opportunity, and resources that is a gift of God’s Spirit and that enables a leader and congregation to work joyfully together in realizing God’s purposes.

*I realize the last ones are wordy...I'll check with the SME and send edits on Friday)

Additional context Full text from SME - for context “What are the positive things we can expect to see in situations where there is effective, reciprocal leadership? Four factors (the four “Cs ”) seem ever-present in situations of effective leadership:

1. Character in the leader (which generates trust on the part of followers).
2. Conviction in the leader (which helps the congregation discern its purpose and vision).
3. Competencies in the leader (which help a congregation function as a healthy system—i.e., deal with the normal anxieties and conflicts of communal life in healthy and productive ways).
4. Confluence of leader, congregation, time, place, ministry opportunity, and resources that is a gift of God’s Spirit and that enables a leader and congregation to work joyfully together in realizing God’s purposes. Three important clarifications must be made before expanding upon each of these factors. First, notice how all four of these factors involve both leader and congregation, the relationship between them, and the impact they have on one another. For example, character in a congregation’s leaders helps the congregation trust those leaders, which in turn strengthens the character of the congregation, which in turn helps the leaders trust the congregation. Praise God for such an upward spiral of character and trust! Second, it’s important to distinguish between personality traits and character traits. The focus in these four factors is not on personality—introvert, extrovert, charismatic, quiet—but on the character of the leaders and those being led. Put another way, a church can be healthy with a leader who’s an introvert, but not with a leader who is untrustworthy, arrogant, or sexually promiscuous. Third, these four factors can be applied to diverse cultural situations. Each cultural situation will define these factors according to norms appropriate to that culture. But these four factors reflect certain realities of human behavior and community that are present and must be reckoned with across all cultural differences.” Effective Leadership, 20.

Hi Jeff, Just coming back to this... Could we take out reciprocal in the title?

Competency - helps a congregation function as a healthy system (take out examples) Confluence - please take out "that is a gift of God's Spirit"

This is a low priority item (Sept/Oct is fine)
