I am researching into church governance and management. What theories can I adopt?
A relatively recent theory of leadership argues that the most effective leaders are servants of their people. Servant leadership is now in the vocabulary of enlightened leadership. It is a practical, altruistic philosophy that supports people who choose to serve first, and then lead, as a way of expanding service to individuals and organizations. The sense of civil community that it advocates and engenders can facilitate and smooth successful and principled change.

There is quite a lot of information on the internet, for example:

The question is unfortunately outside my core competence, but we have in Norway a research institute, dedicated on such topics that you ask for - I think. I seem that their webpage is only in Norwegian, so you may need to use some translation program, or just make a contact? Good luck!
