Dr. Harris, through his exploration of leadership research, reveals that the lack of leadership has caused churches to become dysfunctional, families to break up, businesses to crumble, and nations to decline. The church organization has its focus on unique internal characteristics of strategic leadership.

This book aims to identify strategic leadership examples that create sustainable advantages for the church congregation. Rev. Harris' contention is that it will take strategic leadership for churches to experience the type of growth they envision. Effective leadership leading towards church growth is a disciplined process that will lead congregations from where they are today to where they need to be in the future.
