Abstract

This study explores the benefits of collaborative leadership in a ministry context. Three research questions guide this study: (1) How do pastors utilize change initiatives to cultivate collaboration with their boards? (2) How do pastors utilize timing to cultivate collaboration with their boards? (3) How do pastors utilize timing to cultivate collaboration with their boards? The study utilizes a qualitative design using semi-structured interviews with nine church leaders from three different churches of various size in the Midwest. The results of this study demonstrate that the primary initiators within churches are the senior pastors. Three primary conclusions are drawn from this study: (1) it is crucial to understand change as an ongoing process when cultivating a collaborative board and to help others embrace and understand this change; (2) conflict must be constantly handled as an opportunity to grow as leaders; (3) good timing and good ministry is about the pastor's ability to spend time building trust with fellow leaders.
