Kadi Cole, world-class creative thinker and 30-year veteran in leadership and people development, offers a practical strategy to help church and organizational leaders intentionally craft work and volunteer cultures that facilitate the development of women leaders.

Christian leaders use only a small portion of their female volunteer potential for several reasons. Some don't know how to intentionally and professionally develop and deploy women's talents and abilities. Others don't have the staff or resources. Then there are those who can't get past unfortunate cultural traditions and organizational systems that commonly leave women with the choice to either limit their potential or go outside their church or volunteer organization for training and then invest their skills elsewhere. Developing Female Leaders by Kadi Cole is the book for leaders who face these challenges.

Using contemporary interviews with and about women in key church and organizational roles combined with more than 30 years of research on the development of professional women leaders, the author has created eight easy to implement "best practices" that help accelerate a woman's organizational contribution. Thorough appendices and references make this book a one-of-kind publishing event.
