CMED Course- Engaging Generation Y

with Revd Charles Burgess

Christian leadership is best exercised in community. It isn’t a solo venture, but involves leading well with others and this includes leading across generations. Gen Y (those born between 1980-2000) are among us. They are different, and many churches are finding that they don’t seem to lead in the same ways as other generations. This day explains the differences between the generations (Gen Y, Gen X, Boomers, Trads), and explores how to attract, engage and motivate Gen Y in leadership, for example paid staff such as younger youth workers or curates, as well as volunteers.

Charles is a leadership specialist with CPAS. He has many years of practical leadership experience both from a career in the RAF and, in the last six years, through his role with CPAS. CPAS currently work with over 20 dioceses in supporting them as they seek to build and strengthen a culture of collaborative leadership, including developing and enabling vision, changing culture, building teams and developing missional leadership. To this end, Charles facilitates various leadership development events across the UK, from individual days to longer-term programmes. He also mentors clergy in developing their leadership development skills.
