Drum roll, please: As we announce Steve Woodworth’s newly-released book, “Lost in Transition: Lessons From the Most Disastrous & Successful Ministry Transitions.”

And please listen to this video chat as Steve shares things he learned interviewing dozens of ministry leaders, capturing their first-hand stories and sentiments, and translating that into insights and key principles for walking out your own transition.

Steve Woodworth has had a unique view into the intricacies and best and worst of leadership transitions for some 30 years now, through his long tenure as CEO of Masterworks. He’s witnessed scores of clients navigate this change, and he’s also well into his own succession journey, currently working alongside his own named successor. All this has given Steve a window into the good, the bad, the ugly, and the otherwise of leadership transitions, and birthed in him a deep desire that he and we turn the tides and do this well.

So enjoy this introduction and overview, then grab your own copy of “Lost in Transition” at this link and soon on Amazon as well. It’s an opportunity to let the lived experiences of others mentor and inspire you in your own journey toward “successful”—rather than the all-too-common less so, and even disastrous.
