31 st Synod in Session Where to? Leadership = Passion + Responsibility Engaging with Presbyteries and Synod Boards and Commissions Feeding the fire A reporting/ feedback loop – we now have an agenda created by the Synod in Session Open Space: released energy: didn’t solve anything: great challenges before us. Leadership that is collaborative is now what’s called for

Collaborative Leadership Collaborative Leadership – Building a Shared view on: What’s happening – to people; to their lives; to God’s good earth? Are we listening? Why we need to be engaged: what is our call? What’s our gift/ our charism for this? what’s needed: what outcomes/ fruit we’re growing? how we deliver: who’s doing what?

The Price Letting go of Control Letting go of my individual need for happiness Letting go of certainty The Gift Collective wisdom Community and personal growth in discipleship Co-creation – the making of something new Brendan McKeague
