Abstract

The purpose of the thesis was to critically evaluate the impact of institutional leadership style prevalent in the churches in Africa and particularly in Tidings of Faith Ministries International Incorporated, to analyze its strengths and weaknesses while comparing with other leadership styles to justify a preference for a more contemporary style of leadership model in the 21st century: the team leadership model. The research findings reveal that the institutional leadership brought by the early British missionaries to Africa served its purpose at the time. However, as we move into the 21st century, this mode of leadership becomes inadequate for the church and Tidings of Faith. The research revealed that institutional leadership has failed to address all the questions of leadership distance between clergy and laity, that the clergy have been saddled with the work of running almost every aspect of the ministry while the laity almost always become spectators, and there has been no conscious attempt within this ministry to train laity for future leadership continuity. The researcher proposed team leadership as an effective and up-to-date option for Tidings of Faith in the years ahead. A number of recommendations were made to enhance the administration of this mode of leadership, including strategies to manage conflict and moral issues, trainings for laity, and mentoring programs for the next generation of church leaders.
