Changing the Scorecard for the Church
By Reggie McNeal (Jossey-Bass & Leadership Network)
A 2010 Outreach Resource of the Year

“The publication of The Present Future (Jossey-Bass, 2002) opened a new dialogue between me and many church leaders in the country. Everywhere I spoke, leaders said, ‘This is what I’ve been thinking, but I didn’t know how to say it.’ This was typically followed with a question: ‘What do I do now?’ After hearing that question for years, sensing the excited frustration of church leaders, I decided to condense my best suggestions into a trio of shifts that church leaders could pursue. My hope was to give them a language they could use to frame their leadership initiatives to accelerate their missional engagement.” —Reggie McNeal
