Leadership Encounter with Jesus (LEJ) is an interactive experience designed to challenge
participants to "Lead Like Jesus." LEJ is based on the power of the heart, head, hands, and habits
of leading like Jesus. It is a two-day transformational encounter with Jesus as a role model,
employing a combination of video, short instructor-led presentations, small and large group
discussions, case studies, personal reflection, and interactive exercises. This experience, which
was designed by Ken Blanchard and The Center for FaithWalk Leadership, was attended by 45
people during the January 2003 National Missionary Training Forum.
Explore your own personal leadership motivation, thinking, behavior, and habits in light of the
mandate to Lead Like Jesus.
Find an effective and practical way to live your faith at work, at home, and in all your
relationships.
Challenge yourself to integrate Lead Like Jesus into all your leadership activities.
