dc.description.abstractThe traditional models of leadership have been found wanting in their ability to make sense of and deal with the challenges facing people in the contemporary world. People are looking for models of leadership that can embody the values of respect for people, empowerment and liberation. The central role of leadership demands certain qualities (skills) on the part of leaders. If thinking clearly about people is at the heart of leadership then we are inevitably going to think about how to develop the talents and potential that people have. A major function of leadership is turning the people around us into leaders. Realistically for example in relation to clergy and religious, there simply are not enough bodies on the ground to do all the work that needs to be done. The only way the work of the Church can be effectively progressing is to make training of new leaders a central role of leadership. Priests have to see themselves at all levels, as in the business of leading leaders who in turn will lead others to, and so on. This is probably one of the least understood and practiced aspects of leadership. One of the central challenges of leadership is to make itself redundant. The role of the parish priest, for example then becomes, among other things, the turning of lay people into leaders of the parish. This essay aims at presenting how leadership can be in a pastoral situation. The first chapter explains what leadership is all about with its qualities and characteristics. This is a broad understanding of general Christian leadership - the second chapter then emphasizes on leadership as seen by the church of the second Vatican Council. Here the church leadership is divided into three parts - lay leadership, priestly leadership and religious leadership, each with its own responsibility according to the state of life chosen. Chapter three gives an ideal vision of a parish; what basic things should take place at a parish setting, a few of them being evangelization, catechesis, prayer and liturgy. Social development too, is another way of living life to the fullest as we build God's kingdom. The last chapter is about the training of parish leaders. This training shows how collaborative ministry could be. If priests do not train their leaders it means that there is no collaborative ministry, because effective leadership for pastoral communication involves the priest and all Christians around him, but for Christians to be effective they need to receive enough training, given or organized by the parish priest.en_US
