Note: We ran into some connection issues with Skype early in the recording; the sound does clear up after a few minutes. My apologies for the inconvenience.

This month I am pleased to welcome to the podcast John Rinaldo – diocesan director, podcaster, and founder of REAL Ministry, a web site about developing church leaders to serve the kingdom of God. We discussed what it means to be a leader in the Church, what we can learn from business leaders, how we can develop our leadership skills, and some of our favorite resources including

• the writings of John Maxwell , Ken Blanchard and Michael Hyatt;


• The Leadership Challenge by Kouzes and Posner;


• The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Lencioni;


• EntreLeadership;


• the Manager Tools podcast.

Leave a comment and let us know how you understand what it means to be a “catechetical leader!”
