Description
Is conflict a dirty word? Does it bring to mind images of disagreement, fights, and shattered relationships? For ministry leaders, the likelihood of conflict comes with the job, but the result does not have to be destructive. Conflict Management for Faith Leaders is about handling conflict in a way that is positive and constructive. With this book readers will discover multiple techniques for assessing and managing conflict and learn guidelines for choosing which technique to use in a given situation. A practical resource for pastors and ministry leaders, Conflict Management for Faith Leaders acknowledges that leadership brings with it the risk of opposition. Packed with useful insights and stories based on the experiences of other faith leaders, this book is the ideal tool when the risk of opposition becomes reality.
Advance Praise
Houston Thompson’s years as a leader in the church and in the secular and academic world brings a fresh perspective on how to lead people and organizations in today’s environment. His approach to the subject is well thought through with practical illustrations stemming from his own life and work. Thompson shows us what to avoid and what to strive for in leadership positions. This work is a must read for anyone aspiring or already in a position of leadership!

I wish I had read this book before starting my successful twenty plus years as a Human Resource professional and also serving as a Board Director for non-for-profit organizations. Conflict Management for Faith Leaders offers a new and refreshing approach to conflict management. What this book teaches the reader is to understand and apply the six C’s model of conflict management which will create positive changes and result in positive outcomes. This book is required reading not only for faith leaders but for all leaders in every walk of life.

The toughest part of leadership and/or ministry is the people part. Working with people is often, simultaneously, the most rewarding and taxing part of one’s work. Whenever and wherever there are people there is the potential for conflict. Dr. Houston Thompson has made a vital contribution to this aspect of leadership and ministry through his fine new book, Conflict Management for Faith Leaders.His work is timely and both practical and theoretically sound. His various models of conflict management can help anyone respond to moments of conflict in ways that can help preserve relationships and promote unity. I highly recommend it!
