The Johari window is a great communication concept to build trust with others and improve understanding between people. According to (Satterlee, 2013, p. 134), “communication is a process that is vital to transmitting and understanding information”. However, communication is set forth as goal-oriented; the end result for the communicator is to achieve that set goal in order for the message to be considered effective. According to (Darling & Beebe, 2007, p. 76), “communication is the primary way in which any group of individuals, small or large, can become aligned behind the over-arching innovative goals of a creative developing organization”. In order to be aligned with an over- arching innovation goal, communication has to be meaningful by creating verbal and nonverbal messages. Again, the intended message should be understood appropriately with the primary goal that develops a common understanding of the message from both the sender's and receiver's perspectives. Open dialogue and communication is integral in building a self-sufficient agency capable of accomplishing arduous missions. The Johari window serves as an example of an excellent communication model. The Johari model seeks to build trust between organizational leadership and subordinates. The term “Johari” comes from the names of its innovators, Joseph Luft and Harry Ingram (MindTools, 2013).
Johari’s Core Concepts
Two key concepts are behind the model. First, trust is built through the disclosure of information about oneself. Secondly, through constructive feedback from peers and subordinates, leaders can learn about themselves and deal with personal problems or faults. This feedback, if given in a constructive manner, can help organizations build teamwork and create...

Leadership within Christian community should be with distinct qualities and traits of an effective Christian leader. The author defined leadership by not focusing on profit when Christ said, “Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.” The author explored the leadership qualities and practices that are not only distinct within the community of Christian leadership but also applicable in any arena of leadership. Significance comes from working with associates and friends. Similarly, the joy of success comes from the journey toward it than its accomplishment. Grace-full leader is a responsive leader who allows an organization to discontinue practices that are no longer effective and replace them with other good ideas and effective methods.

The way person leads a group of people or an organization is key to a successful business or outreach. There are many styles and techniques for a leader to implement. Christian leaders are no exception; some might say being a leader in a church organization can be a more scrutinizing position than other leaders. Since, a church leader has expectations on how they should act or conduct themselves because of the Christian faith. This paper will discuss an interview with a person in leadership brother Larry and will give an account of his leadership approach. Furthermore, what strengths and weaknesses are prevalent according to authors Kouzes and Posner and the model they have in their book, Christian Reflections on The Leadership Challenge.
“Workplace spirituality not only leads to beneficial personal outcomes such as increased job satisfaction, and commitment, but that they also deliver improved productivity and reduce absenteeism and turnover (“Workplace Spirituality”, 2015, para. 2).

Organizational success is dependent on both leaders and followers. A strong leader “cannot expect others to follow; leaders must provide a good reason for others to follow” (Satterlee, 2013, p. 6). Similarly, effective followers “share a number of essential qualities, including intelligence and self-reliance”, and do not require constant attention or approval (Satterlee, 2013, p. 6). A necessary element in building the foundation for functioning relationships, trust is an “intangible intellectual asset, a skill, and an influencing power” for leaders and followers (Savolainen & Hakkinen, 2011, Abstract section, para. 1). This literature review considers the concepts of leadership, followership, and trust by examining how each is important to organizational leaders, as well as, strategies for implementing within an organization. “A good manager gets others to do what he/she wants them to do. A good leader gets others to want what he/she wants.”
