This dissertation project asks the question, 'What lessons have been learned and what mistakes have been made by parachurch organizations that have already experienced leadership transition that will assist other similar organizations as they go through this process?' The answer was discovered through organizational research and interviews of leaders within thirteen parachurch organizations. Eight key lessons were identified: (1) The board is responsible for leadership transition. (2) Transition requires a well-articulated vision. (3) Transition must be an ongoing process at all levels of the organization. (4) Transition takes time. (5) The new leader's job description and profile must be developed. (6) The process must be well-defined. (7) Determine the role of the former CEO within the organization. (8) The respective functions of the board and the new CEO must be defined. An interactive seminar was developed incorporating biblical data, historical examples, and leadership principles that apply to the task of effective transition.
