“Change is grief for most people because they're losing something; it's a death of something. And if you're empathetic about that situation. You can lead people because they understand that you really care about them.” – Rev. Dr. Byrene Keith Haney

Today’s featured fellow Christian bookcaster is a grandfather, husband, ordained pastor, and the Assistant to the President for Mission at Iowa District West, Rev. Dr. Byrene Keith Haney. Dr. Keith and I had a fun on a bun chat about his book, “Guided by Grace: A Narrative to Lead Organizational Change”, lessons learned from publishing his first book, how to transform opposition into shared vision, and more!

Key Things You’ll Learn:

Why Dr. Keith decided to write a leadership novel instead of a nonfiction leadership book

The resistance pastors face when trying to implement change

The tension between maintaining tradition and adapting to attract new members in churches

Why relationships and empathy are important when leading volunteer organizations through change
