Introduction

The twenty-first century gives a view through new lenses, revealing the church to have sheep scattering, some slowly dying with possibly uncalled shepherds. The faith-based organization is falling short of Gods Christlike representatives (servant leaders). The manual introduces leadership inventories to assess disciples for level of spiritual growth. There are leadership inventory standards, spiritual gift inventory, assessment of spiritual growth to assess FBO leaders to become servant leaders and not leaders. A youth spiritual gift inventory is available for youth leaders to consider assessing youth.

Dr. Young has compiled some noteworthy evidence and research on the ideal type of transformational leadership called Servant Leadership and applied it where it is needed the most: faith-based organizational leadership. I am proud to have mentored this fine scholar as she reached for her very meaningful dreams and turned them into a reality at the completion of her earned doctorate degree.
