Biblical Leadership Communication - An Integrative View

This book focuses on leadership communication from a biblical perspective. Taking examples from the Bible, the text uses Biblical exegesis to integrate theoretical ideas in leadership and communication. Each chapter focuses on a different type of leadership communication. The authors examine topics related to change management, power, conflict and adjudication, intrapersonal communication, crisis communication, and motivating language. Overall, this work informs scholarly conversations around communicating within organizations from a Biblical perspective and provides a strong academic foundation for future research connecting Biblical exegesis, leadership, and communication.
