Abstract

This thesis explores the importance of intrapersonal intelligence (Gardner) when mediated by self-reflective adaptive practice (Heifetz) on clergy anxiety. Intrapersonal intelligence is active self-awareness: the capacity to learn and adapt to the factors of one's own reality. A reflection-in-action (Schön) method evolved built on Argyris' double-loop learning using the work of Bowen, Friedman, and Steinke. The outcome is increased non-anxious ordained leadership capacity through change and development in leadership style and skills. The research method is autoenthnographic, includes a 360∞ study of the author's conflict management styles (Leas), and is grounded in the theological questions raised in Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32.
