Healthy Congregational Leadership

Peter Steinke's book, Healthy Congregations: A Systems Approach (1996), looks at how congregation leaders act in healthy systems.

He identifies behaviors of emotionally and spiritually healthy leaders, including:


  • stay spiritually grounded

  • manage their own anxiety

  • take stands and stay connected

  • focus on presence and functioning (avoiding triangles, remaining calm)

  • focus on vision and mission

  • focus on strengths

  • challenge themselves and others
