Cultural Insights for Christian Leaders: New Directions for Organizations Serving God’s Mission

Posted on September 4, 2018 by Missio NexusAugust 31, 2018

Missio Nexus’ leadership thoughtfully summarize books, giving you the Leader’s Edge to help inform, stimulate and provoke profitable discussion.

Leader’s Edge (Leadership)

Cultural Insights for Christian Leaders: New Directions for Organizations Serving God’s Mission

Douglas McConnell

Baker Academic, 2018, 224 pages

Summary

Doug McConnell has been a field missionary, a missions educator and administrator (architecting a global leadership degree), as well as an international director for a major mission agency. In this book, he unpacks the theological and philosophical underpinnings for leading with cross-cultural dynamics as his primary lens. Heavy with citations, this is a reader of sorts for the cross-cultural leader with an emphasis on cognitive anthropology. McConnell highlights leadership theories but the emphasis of culture is stronger. The text is punctuated with real life experiences and case studies.
