Create a research paper on the theological presuppositions and philosophical assumptions that form the basis of your knowledge and understanding of the theory and praxis of CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP in organizational leadership. Although this paper is a synopsis of your beliefs, you must include references that substantiate and/or challenge your positions from the course readings and any other research you conduct into the subject matter. Papers without substantial footnotes and bibliography will be given back for correction without a grade. The paper intends to assist you in making explicit connections and correlations between your theological understandings and praxis of Christian Leadership in various roles. The position paper will be graded on the basis of the clarity and conciseness of the stated position, and thus must be no more than 7 pages in length, excluding the reference list. This is a research paper, do not write in first person! Your paper should be organized in the following structure: Part One: Biblical Leadership 1. What makes leadership Biblical? 2. Explore Biblical character models and principles that illustrate leadership. Part Two: Defining Leadership 1. Utilize the course textbooks and a minimum of five additional academic sources in the field of leadership studies, and other prescient literature beyond required sources in leadership studies, to explore various leadership definitions. As you engage in the task of critical/analytical academic research relative to the question of leadership, consider the following questions of the literature: What was the author’s thesis or purpose for writing the book? What leadership theories are evident in the assumptions of this writer? How does this book help me translate theory into leadership practice for ministry communities? 2. State your philosophy of leadership through a critical analysis of the previous sections of your paper (use your sources to state/form/ inform your philosophy. Do not use first person. This is a research paper in which you are utilizing leadership scholars to support your leadership philosophy). 3. After stating your philosophy, compare and contrast your leadership philosophy with the views on leadership and management in the required course readings and your additional research in other precedent literature. Part Three: Principles of Leadership 1. Foundational Development of Leaders: explore the calling and character aspects of leadership as denoted in scripture. 2. Functional Development of Leaders: explore elements of capacity and competencies of leadership. Conclusion
