You May Have More Influence Than You Realize

This fall I'm teaching a course in leadership at the Lutheran Seminary in Chicago. The group of 21 seniors is fun-loving, generally engaged, and eager to think about how to lead within the context of a changing church in a changing culture. We are reading a novel about an Iranian woman who courageously led a small book group against the odds as her nation plunged into fundamentalism, watching a couple of movies that promise to be filled with leadership lessons (including Accepted, The Great Debaters, Real Women Have Curves, and Dodgeball), dabbling in leadership and organizational theory, exploring leadership in Scripture, diving into a couple of "church-specific" texts to help us think theologically and biblically about these issues, and sampling a couple of the millions of leadership books available in the business section these days. It's only three weeks in and it promises to be an interesting conversation.

In our last class we agreed to use this definition of leadership from Peter Northouse (2007):
