CLED 765 Module 1: Leadership Attributes Annotated Bibliography

This annotated bibliography, prepared for CLED 765, examines key scholarly sources related to Christian leadership and its development. The student analyzes three articles, summarizing their contributions to understanding leadership attributes within Christian contexts. The first article proposes a framework for Christian leader development, encompassing personal, Christian, relational, intellectual, and management skills. The second article presents a model of effective managerial leadership, highlighting the leader's motivations, behaviors, and reflective abilities. The third article analyzes leadership attributes in faith-based organizations, discussing the interplay between leadership practices and the social context, using the Implicit Leadership Theory. Each summary includes the student's "aha!" moment and a question for further discussion, fostering a deeper understanding of Christian leadership principles and practices within academic and practical contexts. The annotated bibliography is designed to provide concise expositions, cogent analysis, and informed library research as part of the requirements of the assignment.

Annotated Bibliography
2. Concise Summary:
The study is throughout contributing to Christian Leadership (CL) while describing
the key characteristics of CL (Krispin, 2019). The research study has successfully proposed a
composite framework for the desired results of CL development on the basis of scholarly
literature. The study has covered both secular and Christian perspectives. With the help of
this study, CL development has been understood while focusing on an individual to be
developed. The study has included collective effort for facilitating the development of
leadership capacity within groups as well as organizations. On the other hand, throughout the
study on CL development, this study has proposed a framework for CL development results
in an organized manner. In addition, the author has included five broad categories such as
personal formation, Christian formation, relational skills, intellectual skills, as well as
management skills. The key useful point in the selected article is that the proposed CL
development framework can serve as a foundation for future research, as well as a guide for
CL development efforts.

2. Concise Summary:

proposed model seeks to offer a whole illustrated picture of the key factors contributing to
effective CL. With this study, it is evident that effective managerial leadership effectively
incorporates motivation as well as the encouragement of leaders to lead, while including and
underlining their leadership behaviours (Vilkinas et. al. 2020). The study has successfully
integrated the competing values framework of CL development. In this way, the chosen study
addressed the main question of what encourages leaders to getting engaged in ineffective
leadership practices and thereby suggested behaviours.

2. Concise summary:
In the proposed research, there are so many analyzing leadership attributes in Faith-
Based Organizations; which have been highlighted (Zigan et. al, 2019). For instance, the
research has talked about Idealism Versus Reality (IVR). In addition to that, this article has
contributed to the growing discussion in relation to leadership in the Church of England. The
basic research has been conducted with a particular interest in the complicated interaction
amid leadership practices and social context. Therefore, a well-known theory Implicit
leadership theory (ILT) has been used to study mutual expectations all across distributed
models of lay as well as ordained leadership of the congregation. It has been observed that by
applying a qualitative research method, the authors have conducted 32 semi-structured
interviews within six Church of England communities (Zigan et. al, 2019). In this way, the
research on CL development further contributed to the literature on organizational studies in
faith-based organizations while presenting practical implications for recruiting as well as
training CLs of the church and thereby followers (Zigan et. al, 2019).
3. Question: in faith based organizations, how can we analyse leadership attributes?
