Leading with Anabaptist Values
The 4Cs of Valued Leadership are one effort to empower leaders in Anabaptist-related organizations to grapple with the gifts and blind spots delivered by a unique founding heritage. Each topic provides a relevant link between values that animated Anabaptist movements and everyday decision-making and leadership in today’s organizational context.
