This course is a laboratory experience designed to develop and enhance personal, interpersonal, and group process skills for church leaders. The content of the course will focus on the four areas of emotional intelligence—self awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management—as they promote more effective leadership.

The laboratory will provide opportunities for practical theological research and reflection on leadership and group process. The teaching methodology in this one-week intensive course is experiential learning in small groups of 10 to 14 people led by two experiential educators in each group. As group life unfolds, participants are offered feedback on the impact they have on others in the group. Each participant will receive information from personality and leadership instruments and will be assisted in interpreting the information by their small groups and their group leaders.

This seminar is presented in collaboration with the Center for EQ-HR Skills.

OUTCOMES:

• To improve the “EQ” (emotional intelligence) of participants in areas of the four components of intra– and interpersonal skills as identified by each participant in response to their survey scores and the information shared with them in groups.
• To identify, articulate, and reflect on various phenomena of group process and to practice improving skills of effective participation in groups.
• To grow in the ability to give and receive constructive behavioral information about self and others as leaders.
• To be able to identify and reflect on the presence of God’s Spirit in group life and to recognize the redemptive possibilities in group life.

LEADERSHIP:

Roy M. Oswald

Author, seminar leader, and former senior consultant for the Alban Institute, Oswald is currently Executive Director of the Center for Emotional Intelligence and Human Relations Skills. He has provided leadership for hundreds of conferences and training events in the U.S. and Canada. A variety of denominations have called on Oswald to focus on the pastoral role and the dynamics of parish leadership. He also frequently consults with local congregations and judicatories where his planning model utilizes norms, myths, and meaning statements from a church’s past. Oswald is identified with research into the transitions clergy make when they enter parishes for the first time and for clergy in longer pastorates. More recently, he has headed studies of the candidacy process, leadership needs of small congregations, and new methodology for assessing ministries using clergy/lay teams. His most recent book focuses on the Eight Polarities a Thriving Congregation Manages Well. (2007)
