Sense of Self - Personal foundation 3

Abstract

This fact sheet examines the importance of a Christian leader's 'sense of self' and the relationship with sustainable leadership.This is the third of six Personal Foundations of Sustainable Leadership outlined by NCLS Research. The first 3 can be grouped under the heading 'Who we are' - qualities that are close to our very identity. Results from the 2011 National Church Life Survey (NCLS) for church leaders who completed the Leader Survey show that those with a strong sense of self are more likely to be thriving in ministry rather than burning out.
