"A cost-effective way to provide excellent training for your team!"

What are Leadership Monographs?

Leadership Monographs are a publication of the Organizational Leadership program and exist to provide focused, expert, relevant and affordable training to Christian leaders, churches, and organizations.

Leaders in today’s churches and organizations wrestle with how to keep themselves and their teams professionally sharp in a way that is both time-sensitive and cost-effective. Books are expensive to purchase for a whole group or team and many people do not have time to wade through so much information to get what is most significant to them. Leadership Monographs are designed to address relevant leadership topics and are approximately 15-20 pages in length.
