John Lee West, Roy M. Oswald, Nadyne Guzman Emotional Intelligence for Religious Leaders

Annotation

Religious leaders require tremendous skill in emotional intelligence, yet their training very rarely addresses how to develop the practical skills neededfrom self-awareness to resilience. Emotional Intelligence Religious Leaders draws on the latest research in business, psychology, and theology to offer religious leaders the information and tools they need to increase their emotional intelligence and enhance their relationships, communication and conflict management skills, spirituality, and overall well-being. The book offers both a deep understanding of how to develop emotional intelligence and also prescriptive insights about how to practice it that will be helpful for religious leaders in many settings, including congregational ministry, lay ministry, spiritual direction, pastoral counseling, and more.
