Leader-Coach: Developing Effective Ministry Teams

by Stan Toler, Larry Gilbert

Effective pastoring takes planning, preparation and people--just as effective coaching does. The vitality of any winning team depends on the practice and participation of its members, whether the team takes a field for physical competition or a ministry team seeks success inside the church or in the community.Leader-Coach presents the fundamentals of the game plan for pastors hoping to involve the whole congregation in various church ministries. The team concept is the foundational strategy for effective ministry in a local church. This book shares information that will help you get your congregation energized for active ministry, and you will learn the ministry-action-team philosophy that will revolutionize your local church. Learn to see yourself not only as a player but also as a coach who could bring out the gifts in their teammates.

I liked how simple this book was, but also liked the little subsections. This book wasn't helpful in the sense, that they mainly used "sports coaching" language, but didn't give "coaching" tools. The leadership principles, spoken of, in a short time was great though.
