future assignment might be. Suggestions are :
- A particular church setting e.g. a pastorate or supervisory position
- An organizational setting such as Mission organization linked in with Church Planting and evangelism.
- A teaching situation in a Bible College
- Any other situation known or envisaged by the student. Please consult with the lecturer on this.
Within this situation the student is to project for him or herself a role that they will fill e.g. executive
leader, subordinate leader, supportative person.
- Taking this position the student is to show how they would contribute to this situation by:
- Personal Profile. In the light of an understanding of his or her own personal temperament what role they might play
in the situation.
- An understanding of the dynamics present in the situation. There is to be a realistic assessment based on knowledge
of known current Indian situations rather than a theoretical ideal model. E.g. authoritarian control, dynastic
succession, Western management models, democratic decision making, small inner circle etc.
- Project the future mission of this organization and how it might be accomplished by utilizing insights from the
leadership studies pursued.
- Develop an organizational chart of this organization showing the role that the student would fulfill and those
of subordiantes giving indications of responsibilities and a means of accountability.
