Surface Untapped Leaders in Four Ways
Leadership Network's Wayne Smith has observed
four different models of identifying and developing
high-capacity marketplace leaders--those often
untapped and underutilized in their churches.
As Director of Marketplace Success/Kingdom Significance
Leadership Communities, Wayne works with churches
that are setting the pace for unleashing and mobilizing
these vital human resources. He describes the
four models as: Cultural/DNA,
Partnership, External
Opportunities, and Internal Development.

"We have many churches that are excited about marketplace
ministry," Wayne says. "The concept was born
out of Halftime, and we began retooling it to be accessible
to pastors so they could use it to find the people in
their churches who have experienced various levels of
business success. As we've studied what their churches
do, and how they do it, we have seen these four models
emerge."
