3. Welcome
On behalf of the PP eldership I would like to extend a warm welcome to you
for taking your precious time to attend the 55th Asian Mission Forum (AMF). We
salute you with the peace and grace of God for we would not have this confer-
ence without your willing participation.
I pray that we will be led by the Spirit to a vision of God during our time
of worship at the AMF. Firstly, I believe we want to connect with God
whetheritisforhealing,coaching,celebrating, thanking,orvindicating.Secondly,I
believe that worship and mission are connected. Worship is really a function of
mission. It’s not a separate, sacred task. It grows out of a spiritual life; it results in a
harvest of true believers. Therefore, I pray that the offering of Gentiles may be an
acceptable worship to our God Almighty. And, the Holy Spirit will also raise
leaders in disciple making for we are cleansed to be sent (Isa 6:8). Finally, I
believe that worship takes place in a church culture that is filled with a sense of
belonging. It has to do with commitment, connection and conversation with
God and each other. Let’s come to the table to feast, listen and talk to one anoth-
er sensing what God is doing in various communities and together join Him in
mission and ministry as we worship Him.
We want to take this opportunity to thank Luis Chito Cusi and his team for
organizing the AMF 2015. Then, we had a good time making friends and
encouraging one another.
Last but not least, we thank Dr Evertt Huf-
fard, the team of testifiers, and facilitators who
are willing to share and encourage us in this
conference. Thanks also go to our camera crews,
as well as the team of ladies who took care of the
designs for the webpage, T-shirt, bag, nametags
and program handbook; the logistics for the
entire conference and the accommodation
details to ensure comfort for our participants.

10. Speaker’s Bio
Dr. Evertt Huffard
I am in my 29th year at HST as Professor of Leadership and missions
and just completed 15 years as Dean. I have been a missionary,
preacher and an elder—all great learning experiences! This is my 32rd
year to teach Spiritual Leadership. The first time I taught this course
was at Pepperdine University in 1984 (the year after I took the class with
Robert Clinton at Fuller).
I was a student at HST for five years. I completed a M.A. in missions
(1973) and a M.Th. (1976). When I graduated in 1976 my wife and our
two daughters moved to Nazareth, Israel. I preached for the church there and taught Bible at the Galilee
Christian High School in the Arab village of Eilaboun.
We returned to the states and moved to Los Angeles (1982) so I could work on a PhD in In-
ter-cultural Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary (which I completed in 1985). During the five years we
lived there our son was born. At that time I was blessed to preach for a small church in Montebello, in East
Los Angeles, while finishing by dissertation and teaching full-time at Pepperdine University.
Our children are grown and married. Ellen is a Nurse Practitioner in Nashville, her husband has
his own HVAC business and they have four boys. Charissa, our second daughter, is a RN for home health
care in Georgetown,TX where her husband serves as a minister for families with children.They have three
boys. Our son, Stephen, is an engineer in Denver. He and his wife live in Castle Rock, CO. One of the joys
of our year is the week we have all seven grandsons at our house for“Granna Camp.”
Ileene, my wife of 44 ½ years, has a M.A. and Ed.D. from the University of Memphis. She taught in
Shelby County Schools for 13 years (Millington). She currently directs the graduate program in education
for Harding University at the Mid-South Professional Center on our campus in Memphis. She also has a
MACM from HST.
For a couple of decades I have served as a consultant for church leaders and mission teams. I
have not taken the time to keep up with it but from 2003 to 2007 I consulted or participated in leadership
retreats and seminars in 18 churches in AR, CA, FL, GA, KS, IN, MO, MT, NC, NJ, OR, TN, and TX as well as in
Canada and Switzerland. In March-May of 2008 I gave lectures on leadership in Korea, California, West
Virginia, and Israel. In 2011-2013 I had three trips to Africa. I have assisted with leadership development
for mission teams to Africa, Australia, South America and Europe. It looks like 2016 will be really full with
four international trip (to 10 nations), preaching in 20 churches, and consulting for 8 churches.
This semester I will also be teaching Missionary Anthropology. I also teach a Doctor of Ministry
seminar on Developing Leaders. I have published one book, a chapter in eight books, over twenty-five
articles and five book reviews. I am currently working on a manuscript on Without Shame: A Theology of
Honor for Spiritual Formation.

Rosie is a care team coordinator at PP Church.
Boo Chye
Dennis & Sharon Welch come from a small community near Dallas/Fort Worth, TX,
USA where they were living the American Dream.
They had it all!
They had great careers—Dennis, as an Air Traffic Controller at DFW airport for 29
years and Sharon, as a successful Real Estate Agent in an affluent area. They were
so well-off that they even owned and raced two race cars. Among their posses-
sions were five other automobiles including a motor home and a sports car. They
had a big house with a huge workshop to store all their toys. The house was
located on a private airport in what Forbes magazine calls one of“America’s most
affluent neighborhoods.” On top of all those physical“THINGS,”they have a sweet
family that includes one son, Michael and two beautiful grandchildren (pictured),
Ethan and Autumn.
They had it all!
They seemed to be living the American Dream.
Dennis &Sharon Welch
Everything for which the world is living and working was theirs to enjoy. Then, the Lord got a hold on their hearts and
in 2002 they became Christians. Their story is nothing special. There was no traumatic event that brought them to their
knees before the Lord. They were just like some of us. This VIDEO by Dennis’co-worker, Sandy Detherage tells part of the
story. They came to a knowledge of the truth and decided they had no choice but to trust and obey. When they read
God’s Word, they saw the road before them—serve the Lord and His church. So they got plugged-in with their church
right away. Soon, Dennis was teaching the high school Bible class and Sharon was teaching the first-graders’class. But
something was missing. They were serving below their gifts and abilities—below their calling. They discovered God had
designed them to be missionaries.
But…give-up the American Dream?
Now, their lives included a loving church family too. To move to some distant land meant giving up everything for
the “GOSPEL.” Yet, they gave it all up for Christ. The Welchs left DFW in July 2006 to spend two years training at Sunset
International Bible Institute. They sold or gave-away everything—all those earthly possessions. Now, having complet-
ed their training at Sunset in May 2008, they have moved to Phnom Penh, Cambodia to share the “Good News” about
Jesus Christ with the Cambodian people through teaching at theCambodia Bible Institute and through the GRACE for
Cambodia SNACK Program. They both serve the Lord in Cambodia as volunteers, spending their retirement income and
retirement years helping others. Ask them and they will tell you they are the happiest they have ever been in their lives.
While the world says you must have all the THINGS to be happy and successful, Dennis & Sharon have found something
more important—SIGNIFICANCE. They are making a difference in the lives of Cambodians and for all of us in the church.
They are serving us as they serve the Lord. Ordinary members of the body of Christ serving by their gifts. Your prayers
towards their efforts are welcome!

14. Speaker’s BioJab was converted into Christ at Goroka in 1976 by Curtis Harrison. Met Becky in 1979.
Andy and Catherine Scott studied with Becky and she was baptized into Christ in 1980.
Got married in 1981 by Tobey Huff at Goroka.
Jab decided to resign from working as a motor mechanic in 1983 after six years to serve
full time as evangelist and preacher for Goroka church of Christ. Becky supported the
family working as a bank clerk until 1985.
An opportunity arose with much prayer and support from Tobey and Kathy Huff who
raised funds to send Jab and Becky to attended the South Pacific Bible college in New
Zealand with their 5-year-old son Abraham from 1986 – 1987 and another son Tobey
was born to them in NZ in 1986.
The end of 1987, the Mesa’s returned to PNG and returned to Goroka to serve the
church there from 1988 – 1990. Another door opened in 1991 and again with the
support ofTobey and Kathy Huff, Jab and Becky with their young sons went toVanuatu
to follow up with WBS students and met up with some few Christians. From a number
of ten, they studied with the people and more souls were added to the church. The
Presbyterian church elders got upset and kicked the Mesa’s out of the village. The
Mesa’s spent three months and returned to Papua New Guinea leaving up to 30 plus
Christians and average 80 to 100 meeting at Eton in Vanuatu.
The future looked uncertain for the Mesa’s as they returned home. What’s next? The
family needs to settle and the idea of returning to work as a mechanic Jab kept coming
up and Becky to seek a job to support our family. God our Father knows best, when
they asked if there was a teaching position at the Melanesian Bible College. They got
accepted and Jab started teaching at MBC about July of 1991. Becky was blessed with
a job to help support the family until 1996 when she was asked by HCC to join in as a
secretary, book keeper and women’s teacher. She became a blessing to MBC.
Melanesian Bible College is fully supported by the Highland Church of Christ since
1979 and have been partners with the work faithfully to this day.
With over 150 plus congregations and approximately 10 thousand plus members,
churches are scattered over mountains deep forest, terrains, big rivers fewer roads, the
Gospel is still being preached to families, friends, neighbouring tribes. It is becoming
more and more challenging as the need to train workers is in great demand.
Praise be to God and thank you to the dreams of missionaries and nationals who
prayed for a Bible School and God provided to Papua New Guinea the once School of
life in the 70’s and in the 80’s the established Melanesian Bible College through which
500 plus men and women have gone through and 85% are still serving in their home
villages and some in towns.
Our Goal is to introduce an English Bible School in 2018 Lord willing and this will run
along with the Pidgin Baibel Skul which is 37 years now in progress. We are in progress
of Fund Raising and seeking partnership and support from other churches of Christ
to build a New Double Classroom in 2017 Lord willing, replacing our run down class-
rooms that termites are tearing down build in 1979.

Joel & Jessica live in an Asian creative-access country with their two daughters (7 and
4), where they’re currently in the midst of developing three interrelated projects: trans-
formative, lay-led discipleship; basic exegesis and hermeneutics training for lay believ-
ers, and a presentation of the Gospel that will connect to local hearts and minds at
the worldview level, which local unchurched people can access. They work and serve
exclusively in the local language, and try to make everything they do theologically
grounded, shaped according to local (not Western) worldviews, and locally reproduc-
ible. With four years at their current location and eight years total in the country, they
intend to raise their family in their host nation.

15. John and Wendy are a Singaporean couple who serve in China, Hunan, ZJJ since 2008.
They have been married for 25 years and they continue to live in ZJJ, a place they be-
lieve they are called to serve.
Over the last 8 years plus, they have started a bakery and a tuition center. The bakery
was handed over in 2011 to a local brother, once he is able to operate it on his own.
Presently both John and Wendy manage a tuition center with a little over 80 students.
They teach ESL to students ranging from 6 – 14 years of age. There is also a small group
of working adults who learn English from them.
Both businesses are for the purpose of helping the locals to run their own business
once they are ready to manage it. It is also a contact point for reaching the locals. Some
of the works they manage to do are sponsoring poor students in the villages, organ-
izing activities such as English Corner for university students. There is also occasional
short workshop on parenting and counselling for people who need it.
They have also established an ongoing fellowship and are helping them to grow and
to take over the leadership role eventually. They hope that their testimony will be able
to challenge more people to go into the field.

We were formerly devout Catholics, Business & Politically minded people, having
everything the world can offer but after falling in love with Christ, our lives are being
transformed by God as the Spirit helps us understand our purpose & calling.
We are 11 year old christians, with all our children also baptized in-Christ. We have
tasted the world already, & we don’t want to go back to it except only to do the mission
of God & to be in the front-lines in the battle fields.
We have counted & are continuously counting our cost of discipleship, facing whatev-
er trials & sufferings our journey may bring. We are willing to die for our King, dedicat-
ing our lives & our very last breath for the Mission of God. And we pray that God would
use our family to be an influence of Christ leading men towards their calling.

Vincent is a PP Church deacon. He is the coordinator for Vietnam Interest Group.
He is also the assistant coordinator for Myanmar Interest Group.
Vincent Lim
Born in strong Christian family, and I personally accept Jesus as my Lord and Sav-
ior and baptized for remission of sin when i was 17 years old after very sick and i
realized i could die any time, was wondering what would be next and need Savior.
I did not choose to involve as full time Christian worker as i felt so much burden
being a son of Preacher. After doing different secular jobs, God called me to serve
Him from the passage : Mtt.16 : 26 that Jesus spoke the worth of soul than the
whole world.
God has blessed and guided my way of serving Him. And thanks God to see many
children are saved both from physical and spiritual bondages. And the gospel is
being preached to many areas and many become Christian in Bible way, and the
congregations are drawn closer to NT Churches.

18. Speaker’s Bio
Winston Chong was born in Malaysia, left home at 17 to further his studies in Canada
and New Zealand, and qualified as a Certified Public Accountant in Deloittes Haskins &
Sells and Coopers & Lybrand. He met his Singaporean wife, Hong Ngee, while in New
Zealand and they both returned to settle in Singapore in 1988. There he worked for
JP Morgan and UBS eventually holding senior positions of responsibility in Asia Pacific.
In the late 90’s, a mid-life crisis forced an authentic examination of his life. In his search
for significance, he made a career switch to personal financial planning and in the
process made a personal commitment to accept Jesus Christ as his Saviour and Lord.
Winston believes in a life that is fully founded upon Christ. As a financial adviser and
shareholder in Life Planning Associates Pte Ltd, he renders his clients financial advice
that is based on biblical principles. His experiences have borne out the reality that one
can never truly experience financial freedom unless fully submitted to the sovereign
God from whom all things come. His unique position naturally opens opportunities to
share redeeming biblical truths that shed light on the insecurity, discontentment, fear
and greed experienced by all.
Winston serves as an elder in the Pasir Panjang Church of Christ, Singapore (PP), and
is actively involved in leadership. He believes that God is doing something unique in
and through the PP congregation. Approximately half the congregation are involved
in short term missions, and the young adult and youth groups are enthusiastic about
being challenged to grow in ways never experienced by the earlier generations.
Together with Hong Ngee, they mentor several young married couples and youth.
They have led mission efforts to the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and China.
Winston was the founding Board Chairman of the Sunset International Bible Institute,
Singapore which secured registration as a bible school in 2010. He now serves as the
liaison elder to the school. A significant third of PP’s missions funds are directed
towards scholarships for students from China, Vietnam and Myanmar.
Hong Ngee and he have been blessed with three children; Basil (1991); Alistair (1992),
and Gillian (1995). All three actively serve in various capacities in PP including short
term missions.
Winston Chong
I am William from Beijing. In 2005, two months before I started pursuing my PhD
degree in biochemistry and molecular biology, I heard the Gospel online from
Judy Liu, a sister from Zhuhai. Then I studied Bible with Gary Jackson in Wangjing.
One month later, I was baptized.
Since Apr, 2006, Martin and Marcus Rodriguez and several other brothers and sis-
ters including me started a new congregation in Haidian because of the over-
crowded room in Wangjing and the bad traffic in a huge Beijing. I have been serv-
ing this church in which I grew up for 10 years.
2016 is a new start as I just started to serve in fulltime ministry.

Practicing the 10 Truths about Leadership
From: The Truth about Leadership: The No-Fads Heart-of-the-Matter Facts
You Need to Know
James M Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner
In
The
Truth
about
Leadership
James
Kouzes
and
Barry
Posner
share
what
they’ve
learned
from
over
30
years
of
leadership
research
(over
1
million
responses
to
their
Leadership
Practices
Inventory),
teaching,
and
writing.
The
book
reports
on
fundamental
principles
that
inform
and
support
the
practices
of
leadership.
“The
truths
we’ve
written
about
are
things
you
can
count
on.
They
are
realities
of
leadership
that
will
help
you
to
think,
decide,
and
act
more
effectively.
They
provide
lessons
that
will
sustain
you
in
your
personal
and
professional
development.
They
are
truths
that
address
what
is
real
about
leadership.”
Here
in
summary
form
are
the
ten
truths.
s
much
as
the
context
of
leadership
has
change
over
the
past
three
decades,
the
content
of
leadership
has
not
changed
that
much.
The
fundamental
behaviors,
actions,
and
practices
of
leaders
have
remained
essentially
the
same
since
we
first
began
researching
and
writing
about
leadership
over
three
decades
ago.
Much
has
changed,
but
there’s
a
whole
lot
more
that’s
stayed
the
same.
The
Truth
about
Leadership
reveals
the
most
important
things
we’ve
learned
since
we
began
our
collaboration.
It’s
a
collection
of
fundamental
principles
that
inform
and
support
the
practices
of
leadership.
These
are
lessons
that
were
true
thirty
years
ago,
are
true
today,
and
we
believe
will
be
true
thirty
years
from
now.
Fundamentals
are
the
necessary
building
blocks
of
greatness.
You
can’t
fast-­‐track
your
way
to
excellence.
Leadership
is
a
demanding,
noble
discipline
not
to
be
entered
into
frivolously
or
causally.
It
requires
an
elevated
sense
of
mastery.
It’s
a
matter
of
technique,
of
skill,
of
practice.
It’s
also
a
matter
of
desire
and
commitment.
You
can
gain
mastery
over
the
art
and
science
of
leadership
by
understanding
these
enduring
truths
and
attending
to
them
in
your
workplace
and
everyday
life.

Truth One. You Can Make a
Difference
This
is
the
most
fundamental
truth
of
all.
Before
you
can
lead
you
have
to
believe
that
you
can
have
a
positive
impact
on
others.
You
have
to
believe
in
yourself.
That’s
where
it
all
begins.
Leadership
begins
when
you
believe
you
can
make
a
difference.
We’ve
been
tracking
the
impact
leaders
have
on
their
constituents
and
the
organization
for
many
years.
We’ve
analyzed
data
from
well
over
a
million
respondents,
and
hundreds
of
other
researchers
have
used
our
model
and
the
Leadership
Practices
Inventory
to
gather
data
from
thousands
more.
The
findings
from
all
these
students
point
to
one
very
clear
conclusion:
leaders
who
use
The
Five
Practices
of
Exemplary
Leadership
are
seen
by
others
as
better
leaders.
The
Five
Practices
of
Exemplary
Leadership
is
the
model
of
best
practices
that
emerged
from
our
research
(see
the
“Five
Practices
and
Ten
Commitments”
at
the
end
of
this
article.)
These
five
“practices”
(not
“laws”
or
“principles”)
are:
1. Model
the
Way
2. Inspire
a
Shared
Vision
3. Challenge
the
Process
4. Enable
Others
to
Act
5. Encourage
the
Heart
People
working
with
leaders
who
demonstrate
The
Five
Practices
of
Exemplary
Leadership
are
significantly
more
satisfied
with
the
actions
and
strategies
of
their
leaders;
they
feel
more
committed,
excited,
energized,
influential,
and
powerful;
and
they
are
more
productive.
In
other
words,
the
more
you
engage
in
the
practices
of
exemplary
leadership,
the
more
likely
it
is
that
you’ll
have
a
positive
influence
on
others
in
the
organization.
Truth Two. Credibility is the
Foundation of Leadership
You
have
to
believe
in
you,
but
others
have
to
believe
in
you,
too.
What
does
it
take
for
others
to
believe
in
you?
Short
answer:
Credibility.
If
people
don’t
believe
in
you,
they
won’t
willingly
follow
you.
It
turns
out
that
the
believability
of
the
leader
determines
whether
people
will
willingly
give
more
of
their
time,
talent,
energy,
experience,
intelligence,
creativity,
and
support.
Only
credible
leaders
earn
commitment,
and
only
commitment
builds
and
regenerates
great
organizations
and
communities.
Year
after
year
the
results
of
our
research
have
been
striking
in
their
regularity.
And
year
after
year
they
do
not
vary
significantly
by
demographical,
organizational,
or
cultural
dimensions.
It
has
been
quite
clear
that
there
are
a
few
essential
“character
tests”
someone
must
pass
before
others
are
willing
to
grant
the
designation
of
leader.
Only
four
qualities
have
continuously
received
an
average
score
of
over
60
percent
of
the
votes.
Before
anyone
is
going
to
willingly
follow
you—or
any
leader—he
or
she
wants
to
know
that
you
are:
n Honest
(85%)
n Forward-­‐Looking
(70%)
n Inspiring
(69%)
n Competent
(64%)
These
four
are
at
the
core
of
others’
expectations.
They
are
the
basic
measures
of
whether
others
will
consider
you
to
be
the
leader
they’d
willingly
follow.
In
addition
to
the
three
factors
that
measure
credibility
(honesty,
inspiring,
and
competent),
the
vast
majority
of
constituents
have
one
other
expectation
of
leaders.
They
expect
leaders
to
be
forward
looking.
People
must
also
believe
that
you
know
where
you
are
headed
and
have
a
vision
for
the
future.
As
a
leader
you
are
expected
to
have
a
point
of
view
about
the
future.
You
are
expected
to
articulate
exciting
possibilities
about
how
today’s
work
will
result
in
tomorrow’s
world.
Your
ability
to
take
strong
stands,
to
challenge
the
status
quo,
and
to
point
people
in
new
directions
depends
on
just
how
credible
you
are
(honest,
inspiring,
competent).
If
you
are
highly
credible,
people
are
much
more
likely
to
enlist
in
your
campaign
for
the
future.
But
if
others
don’t
believe
in
you,
then
the
message
you
are
delivering
about
an
uplifting
and
ennobling
future
rests
on
a
weak
and
precarious
foundation.
People
may
actually
applaud
your
vision
of
the
future
but
be
unwilling
to
follow
you
in
that
direction.
They
may
agree
that
what
you
are
saying
needs
to
be
done,
but
they
just
won’t
have
the
faith
and
confidence
that
you
are
the
one
to
lead
them.
If
you
don’t
believe
in
the
messenger,
you
won’t
believe
the
message.
If
you
are
going
to
lead,
you
must
have
a
relationship
with
others
that
is
responsive
to
their
expectations
that
you
are
someone
they
can
believe

28. Spring 2011 s Lifelong Faith s 5
in.
If
people
are
going
to
willingly
follow
you,
it
is
because
they
believe
you
are
credible.
To
be
credible
in
action,
you
must
do
what
you
say
you
will
do.
That
means
that
you
must
be
so
clear
about
your
beliefs
that
you
can
put
them
in
practice
every
day.
The
consistent
living
out
of
values
is
a
behavioral
way
of
demonstration
honesty
and
trustworthiness.
It
proves
that
you
believe
in
the
path
you
have
taken
and
are
progressing
forward
with
energy
and
determination.
Truth Three. Values Drive
Commitment
People
want
to
know
what
you
stand
for
and
believe
in.
They
want
to
know
what
you
value.
They
want
to
know
what
you
value.
And
leaders
need
to
know
what
others
value
if
they
are
going
to
be
able
to
forge
alignments
between
personal
values
and
organizational
demands.
You
can
only
fully
commit
to
organizations
and
other
causes
when
there
is
a
good
fit
between
what
you
value
and
what
the
organization
values.
That
means
that
to
do
your
best
as
a
leader
you
need
to
know
who
you
are
and
what
you
care
about.
You
need
a
set
of
values
that
guide
your
decisions
and
actions.
To
discover
who
you
are
and
what
you
care
about,
you
need
to
spend
some
time
on
the
inner
work
of
a
leader—in
reflection
on
finding
your
voice.
And
keep
in
mind
that
it’s
not
just
your
values
that
matter.
What
is
true
for
you
is
true
for
others:
they
too
must
find
a
fit
with
who
they
are
and
what
they
value.
Credible
leaders
listen,
not
just
to
their
own
aspirations,
but
also
to
the
needs
and
desires
of
others.
Leadership
is
a
relationship,
and
relationships
are
built
on
mutual
understanding.
Truth Four. Focusing on the Future
Sets Leaders Apart
The
capacity
to
imagine
and
articulate
exciting
future
possibilities
is
a
defining
competence
of
leaders.
Leaders
are
custodians
of
the
future.
They
are
concerned
about
tomorrow’s
world
and
those
who
will
inherit
it.
They
ask,
“What’s
new?
What’s
next?
What’s
going
to
happen
after
the
current
project
is
completed?”
They
think
beyond
what’s
directly
in
front
of
them,
peer
into
the
distance,
imagine
what’s
over
the
horizon,
and
move
forward
toward
a
new
and
compelling
future.
Your
constituents
expect
you
to
know
where
you’re
going
and
to
have
a
sense
of
direction.
You
have
to
be
forward-­‐looking;
it’s
the
quality
that
most
differentiates
leaders
from
individual
contributors.
Getting
yourself
and
others
focused
on
the
exciting
possibilities
that
the
future
holds
is
your
special
role
on
the
team.
Developing
the
capacity
to
envision
the
future
requires
you
to
spend
more
time
in
the
future—
meaning
more
time
reflecting
on
the
future,
more
time
reading
about
the
future,
and
more
time
talking
to
others
about
the
future.
It’s
not
an
easy
assignment,
but
it
is
an
absolutely
necessary
one.
It
also
requires
you
to
reflect
back
on
your
past
to
discover
the
themes
that
really
engage
you
and
excite
you.
And
it
means
thinking
about
the
kind
of
legacy
you
want
to
leave
and
the
contributions
you
want
to
make.
Truth Five. You Can’t Do It Alone
No
leader
ever
got
anything
extraordinary
done
without
the
talent
and
support
of
others.
Leadership
is
a
team
sport,
and
you
need
to
encourage
others
in
the
cause.
What
strengthens
and
sustains
the
relationship
between
leader
and
constituent
is
that
leaders
are
obsessed
by
what
is
best
for
others,
not
what
is
best
for
themselves.
Leaders
alone
don’t
make
anything
great.
Leadership
is
a
shared
responsibility.
You
need
others,
and
they
need
you.
You’re
all
in
this
together.
To
build
and
sustain
that
sense
of
oneness,
exemplary
leaders
are
sensitive
to
the
needs
of
others.
They
ask
questions.
They
listen.
They
provide
support.
They
develop
skills.
They
ask
for
help.
They
align
people
in
a
common
cause.
They
make
people
feel
like
anything
is
possible.
They
connect
people
to
their
need
to
be
in
charge
of
their
own
lives.
They
enable
others
to
be
even
better
than
they
already
are.
Truth Six. Trust Rules
If
you
can’t
do
it
alone
and
have
to
rely
on
others,
what’s
needed
to
make
that
happen?
Trust
is
the
social
glue
that
holds
individuals
and
groups
together.
And
the
level
of
trust
others
have
in
you
will
determine
the
amount
of
influence
you
have.
You
have
to
earn
your
constituents’
trust
before
they’ll
be
willing
to
trust
you.
That
means
you
have
to
give
trust
before
you
can
get
trust.

29. Spring 2011 s Lifelong Faith s 6
Trust
rules
your
personal
credibility.
Trust
rules
your
ability
to
get
things
done.
Trust
rules
your
team’s
cohesiveness.
Trust
rules
your
organization’s
innovativeness
and
performance.
Trust
rules
just
about
everything
you
do.
How
can
you
facilitate
trust?
Research
has
shown
that
a
few
key
behaviors
contribute
to
whether
or
not
others
perceive
you
as
trustworthy.
Here
are
four
actions
to
keep
in
mind:
n Behave
predictably
and
consistently.
n Communicate
clearly.
n Treat
promises
seriously.
n Be
forthright
and
candid.
Getting
people
to
work
together
begins
with
building
mutual
trust.
Before
asking
for
trust
from
others,
you
must
demonstrate
your
own
trust
in
them.
That
means
taking
the
risk
of
disclosing
what
you
stand
for,
value,
want,
hope
for,
and
are
willing
and
unwilling
to
do.
You
also
have
to
be
predictable
and
consistent
in
your
actions:
forthright,
candid,
and
clear
in
your
communication;
and
serious
about
your
promises.
And,
as
we’ve
learned
so
many
times,
leaders
are
far
better
served
when
they’re
forthcoming
with
information.
There’s
nothing
more
destructive
to
trust
than
deceit,
and
nothing
more
constructive
than
candor.
Truth Seven. Challenge Is the
Crucible for Greatness
Exemplary
leaders—the
kind
of
leaders
people
want
to
follow—are
always
associated
with
changing
the
status
quo.
Great
achievements
don’t
happen
when
you
keep
things
the
same.
Change
invariably
involves
challenge,
and
challenge
tests
you.
It
introduces
you
to
yourself.
It
brings
you
face-­‐to-­‐face
with
your
level
of
commitment,
your
grittiness,
and
your
values.
It
reveals
your
mindset
about
change.
The
study
of
leadership
is
the
study
of
how
men
and
women
guide
people
through
uncertainty,
hardship,
disruption,
transformation,
transition,
recovery,
new
beginnings,
and
other
significant
challenges.
It’s
also
the
study
of
how
men
and
women,
in
times
of
constancy
and
complacency,
actively
seek
to
disturb
the
status
quo,
awaken
new
possibilities,
and
pursue
opportunities.
All
significant
and
meaningful
accomplishments
involve
adversity,
difficulty,
change,
and
challenge.
No
one
ever
got
anything
extraordinary
done
by
keeping
things
the
same.
Risk,
uncertainty,
and
hardships
test
us.
Initiative
and
grit
are
imperatives
in
times
of
uncertainty.
You
have
to
embrace
the
challenge,
control
what
you
can,
and
take
charge
of
change
to
be
successful
in
these
turbulent
times.
To
deal
with
setbacks
and
to
bounce
back
from
mistakes,
you
need
grit.
You
also
need
to
find
ways
to
learn
from
failure,
knowing
that’s
one
of
the
best
teachers
you
can
have.
Truth Eight. You Either Lead by
Example Or You Don’t Lead At All
Leaders
have
to
keep
their
promises
and
become
role
models
for
the
values
and
actions
they
espouse.
You
have
to
go
first
as
a
leader.
You
can’t
ask
others
to
do
something
you
aren’t
willing
to
do
yourself.
Moreover,
you
have
to
be
willing
to
admit
mistakes
and
be
able
to
learn
from
them.
We
know
that
credibility
is
the
foundation
of
leadership
(Truth
#2).
What
is
credibility
behaviorally?
How
do
you
know
it
when
you
see
it?
The
most
frequent
answer
we
get
in
our
research
is:
You
have
to
Do
What
You
Will
Say
You
Will
Do,
or
DWYSYWD
for
short.
Seeing
is
believing,
and
our
constituents
have
to
see
you
living
out
the
standards
you’ve
set
and
the
values
you
profess.
You
need
to
go
first
in
setting
the
example
for
others.
That’s
what
it
takes
to
get
others
to
follow
your
lead.
A
big
part
of
leading
by
example
is
keeping
your
promises.
Your
word
is
only
as
good
as
your
actions.
You
have
to
realize
that
others
look
to
you
and
your
actions
in
order
to
determine
for
themselves
how
serious
you
are
about
what
you
say,
as
well
as
understand
what
it
will
mean
for
them
to
be
“walking
the
talk.”
Your
statements
and
actions
are
visible
reminders
to
others
about
what
is
or
is
not
important.
And
when
you
make
a
mistake,
admit
it.
Admitting
your
mistakes
and
shortcomings
goes
a
long
way
toward
building
up
people’s
confidence
in
your
integrity.
It
gives
them
one
more
important
reason
to
put
their
trust
in
you.
Truth Nine. The Best Leaders Are
the Best Learners
You
have
to
believe
that
you
(and
others)
can
learn
to
lead,
and
that
you
can
become
a
better
leader
tomorrow
than
you
are
today.
Leaders
are
constant
improvement
fanatics,
and
learning
is
the
master

30. Spring 2011 s Lifelong Faith s 7
skill
of
leadership.
Learning,
however,
takes
time
and
attention,
practice
and
feedback,
along
with
good
coaching.
It
also
takes
a
willingness
on
your
part
to
ask
for
support.
Leadership
is
not
preordained.
It
is
not
a
gene,
and
it
is
not
a
trait.
There
is
no
hard
evidence
to
support
the
assertion
that
leadership
is
imprinted
in
the
DNA
of
only
some
individuals
and
that
the
rest
of
us
missed
out
and
are
doomed
to
be
clueless.
Leadership
can
be
learned.
It
is
an
observable
pattern
of
practices
and
behaviors,
and
a
definable
set
of
skills
and
abilities.
Skills
can
be
learned,
and
when
we
track
the
progress
of
people
who
participate
in
leadership
development
programs,
we
observe
that
they
improve
over
time.
They
learn
to
be
better
leaders
as
long
as
they
engage
in
activities
that
help
them
learn
now.
But
here’s
the
rub.
While
leadership
can
be
learned,
not
everyone
learns
it,
and
not
all
those
who
learn
leadership
master
it.
Why?
Because
to
master
leadership
you
have
to
have
a
strong
desire
to
excel,
you
have
to
believe
strongly
that
you
can
learn
new
skills
and
abilities,
and
you
have
to
be
willing
to
devote
yourself
to
continuous
learning,
and
deliberate
practice.
No
matter
how
good
you
are,
you
can
always
get
better.
You
can
develop
yourself
as
a
leader,
but
it
takes
a
continuous
personal
investment.
It
takes
time,
it
takes
deliberate
practice,
it
requires
setting
improvement
goals,
staying
open
to
feedback,
working
on
your
strengths
and
weaknesses,
and
having
the
support
of
others.
Moreover,
the
very
best
leaders
also
believe
that
it’s
possible
for
everyone
to
learn
to
lead.
By
assuming
that
leadership
is
learnable,
you
stay
open
to
opportunities
to
turn
the
workplace
into
a
practice
field
and
every
experience
into
a
chance
to
grow.
By
believing
in
yourself
and
your
capacity
to
learn
to
lead,
you
make
sure
you’re
prepared
to
take
advantage
of
the
many
opportunities
that
are
open
to
you.
Truth Ten. Leadership Is an Affair
of the Heart
It
could
also
be
the
first
truth.
Leaders
are
in
love
with
their
constituents,
their
customers
and
clients,
and
the
mission
that
they
are
serving.
Leaders
make
others
feel
important
and
are
gracious
in
showing
their
appreciation.
Love
is
the
motivation
that
energizes
leaders
to
give
so
much
for
others.
You
just
won’t
work
hard
enough
to
become
great
if
you
aren’t
doing
what
you
love.
There’s
no
integrity
and
honor
with
heart.
There’s
no
commitment
and
conviction
without
heart.
There’s
no
hope
and
faith
without
heart.
There’s
no
trust
and
support
without
heart.
There’s
no
learning
and
risk
taking
without
heart.
Nothing
important
ever
gets
done
without
heart.
Purely
and
simply,
exemplary
leaders
excel
at
improving
performance
because
they
pay
great
attention
to
the
human
heart.
Leaders
put
their
hearts
in
their
organizations
and
their
organizations
in
their
hearts.
They
love
what
they’re
doing
and
they
stay
in
love
with
leading,
with
the
people
who
do
the
work,
with
what
their
organizations
produce,
and
with
those
who
honor
them
by
using
their
products
and
services.
They
show
they
care
by
paying
attention
to
people,
sharing
success
stories,
and
making
people
feel
important
and
special.
Exemplary
leaders
are
positive
and
upbeat,
generating
the
emotional
energy
that
enables
others
to
flourish.
The Truth about Leadership
James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner (Jossey-Bass, 2010)
In
these
turbulent
times,
when
the
very
foundations
of
organizations
and
societies
are
shaken,
leaders
need
to
move
beyond
pessimistic
predictions,
trendy
fads,
and
simplistic
solutions.
They
need
to
turn
to
what’s
real
and
what’s
proven.
In
their
new
book,
Kouzes
and
Posner
reveal
ten
time-­‐tested
truths
that
show
what
every
leader
must
know,
the
questions
they
must
be
prepared
to
answer,
and
the
real-­‐world
issues
they
will
likely
face.
Based
on
thirty
years
of
research,
the
book
explores
the
fundamental,
enduring
truths
of
leadership
that
hold
constant
regardless
of
context
or
circumstance-­‐leaders
make
a
difference,
credibility,
values,
trust,
leading
by
example,
heart,
and
more;
and
shows
leaders
what
they
need
to
know
to
be
effective.

Five Practices & Ten Commitments of Leadership
The Leadership Challenge (4th
Edition)
James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner
In
The
Leadership
Challenge
James
Kouzes
and
Barry
Posner
identify
five
practices
and
ten
commitments
for
leadership
drawn
from
their
extensive
research
with
leaders
in
organizations.
They
write
that
leadership
is
about
how
leaders
mobilize
others
to
want
to
get
extraordinary
things
done
in
organizations.
“It’s
about
the
practices
the
leaders
use
to
transform
values
into
actions,
visions
into
realities,
obstacles
into
innovations,
separateness
into
solidarity,
and
risks
into
rewards.”
The
following
overview
introduces
the
practices
and
commitments
and
provides
a
tool
for
leaders
to
examine
their
own
leadership
practices
and
ways
to
improve
their
effectiveness.
Practice 1. Model the Way
Leaders
stand
for
something,
believe
in
something,
and
care
about
something.
They
find
their
voice
by
clarifying
their
personal
values
and
then
expressing
those
values
in
their
own
unique
and
authentic
style
Leaders
also
know
that
they
cannot
force
their
views
on
others.
Instead,
they
work
tirelessly
to
forge
consensus
around
a
set
of
common
principles.
Leaders
must
set
the
example
by
aligning
their
personal
actions
with
shared
values.
Modeling
the
way
is
essentially
about
earning
the
right
and
the
respect
to
lead
through
direct
individual
involvement
and
action.
People
first
follow
the
person,
then
the
plan.
Commitments
1. Find
your
voice
by
clarifying
your
personal
values.
2. Set
the
example
by
aligning
actions
with
shared
values.
Personal Reflection
n What
are
the
personal
values
you
bring
to
your
leadership
approach
and
style?
n How
well
aligned
are
your
leadership
actions
with
the
shared
values
in
your
congregation?
Practice 2. Envision the Future.
Leaders
envision
the
future
by
imaging
exciting
and
ennobling
possibilities.
They
dream
of
what
might
be,
and
they
passionately
believe
that
they
can
make
a
positive
difference.
They
envision
the
future,
creating
an
ideal
and
unique
image
of
what
the
community
or
organization
can
become.
But
visions
seen
by
the
leader
are
insufficient
to
mobilize
and
energize.
Leaders
enlist
others
in
exciting
possibilities
by
appealing
to
shared
aspirations.
They
breathe
life
into
the
ideal
and
unique
images
of
the
future
and
get
others
to
see
how
their
own
dreams
can
be
realized
by
embracing
a
common
vision.

Personal Reflection

Practice 3. Challenge the Process
The
work
of
leaders
is
change.
To
them
the
status
quo
is
unacceptable.
Leaders
search
for
opportunities
by
seeking
innovative
ways
to
change,
grow,
and
improve.
They
seize
the
initiative
to
make
things
happen.
And
knowing
they
have
no
monopoly
on
good
ideas,
leaders
constantly
scan
the
outside
environment
for
creative
ways
to
do
things.
Leaders
experiment
and
take
risks
by
constantly
generating
small
wins
and
by
learning
from
mistakes.
And,
despite
persistent
opposition
and
inevitable
setbacks,
leaders
demonstrate
the
courage
to
continue
the
quest.
Exemplary
leaders
know
that
they
have
to
be
willing
to
make
some
personal
sacrifices
in
service
of
a
higher
purpose.

Practice 4. Enable Others to Act.
Leaders
know
they
cannot
do
it
alone.
It
takes
partners
to
get
extraordinary
things
done
in
an
organization.
So,
leaders
foster
collaboration
by
promoting
cooperative
goals
and
building
trust.
They
develop
teams
with
spirit
and
cohesion.
They
promote
a
sense
of
reciprocity
and
a
feeling
of
“we’re
all
in
this
together.”
Leaders
understand
that
mutual
respect
is
what
sustains
extraordinary
efforts.
Leaders
strengthen
others
by
sharing
power
and
providing
choice,
making
each
person
feel
competent
and
confident.
They
nurture
self-­‐esteem
and
sustain
human
dignity.

Practice 5. Encourage the Heart.
Getting
extraordinary
things
done
in
organizations
