Description


Living in Latin America as a foreigner means you have experienced awkward moments and bewildering misunderstandings. All leaders are influenced by their culture. Informed by personal experience and doctoral research, Anderson shares stories of Latin American Christian leaders, identifies the cultural values that shaped them and teaches when to yield to cultural values and when to take corrective actions. Your understanding of leadership and your cross-cultural awareness and appreciation will expand together. Anderson suggests four specific ways you can co-participate with God to help leaders emerge and grow: • Accompany them • Open up spaces for them to serve • Create developmental experiences • Promote self-leadership from the start of their journey Personal and team reflection exercises will guide you on your leadership journey and help you to make concrete action plans.
