"The APEST Leadership Model"

The APEST Leadership Model is a framework that identifies five key roles essential for effective leadership and community building: Apostle (innovator and visionary), Prophet (truth-teller and moral voice), Evangelist (outreach and spreading ideas), Shepherd (caretaker and nurturer), and Teacher (educator and clarifier). Each role offers unique strengths, and together they create balanced, dynamic leadership. The model encourages leaders to recognize and develop these diverse gifts within themselves and others, fostering healthier, more effective groups and organizations by leveraging different leadership styles to meet various needs.
