Digital Logos Edition
The Five Phases of Leadership is a book written by a practitioner for practitioners. Organized around five stages of leadership—establishing trust, cultivating leaders, discerning vision, implementing plans and transitioning out—this book offers an overview of the leadership life cycle from a distinctively Christian perspective.
Dr. Justyn Terry draws on over twenty years of leadership experience in seminaries and churches, to offer practical insight into a leader’s role. Rather than focusing primarily on leadership styles or skills, this book demonstrates why those skills matter in context. By focusing on a leader’s overall task, Dr. Terry offers a vision of leadership that draws together its disparate elements into a unified whole.

Entire libraries exist devoted to leadership, yet people who are successful at it can boil it down to a handful of fundamental behaviors. Justyn Terry has masterfully done this. Both a successful scholar and practitioner, Terry has reduced leadership to five essential practices. Modern society, as well as the church, is desperately clamoring for good leadership. This book will help.
—Richard Blackaby
This book is an excellent and essential reference for all Christian leaders. It is not a book that can be read just once, but it is one that needs to be read again and again as it helps leaders to evaluate themselves continuously. I highly recommend this book as a companion for every person in a leadership position.
—The Most Rev. Dr. Mouneer Hanna Anis
I cannot recommend Justyn Terry’s book highly enough for anyone in leadership. In an age which idolizes leadership and leadership books and formulae, this is refreshingly authentic. Terry is an insightful teacher and practitioner, rooted in Scripture and the need for the fruit of the Spirit and Christ-like character formation. Read it!
