[Podcast] What's NEXT? Succession Planning with Warren Bird

By: Vanderbloemen

Succession Planning with Warren Bird

We are passionate about succession planning. A taboo topic for many years in the the church, the lack of conversations about succession has led to many bad handoffs which have, in turn, led to many churches losing large parts of their congregation or closing their doors altogether. 

In today's episode of the Vanderbloemen Leadership Podcast, William Vanderbloemen sits down with Warren Bird, Lead Researcher at Leadership Network and co-author of NEXT: Pastoral Succession that Works.

Warren talks with William about:

  • Succession planing internationally
  • Successions within the family
  • Preparing your congregation for succession
  • The impact of the book Next: Pastoral Succession That Works
