About the Author

My name is Rich Landosky.  I am the Pastor of Student Ministries at Aldan Union Church in PA.  Leadership 101 was born out of my deep passion for leadership – for learning it and trying to live it.  My leadership journey began about 14 years ago when I found myself at my current church way in over my head.  I could do youth ministry but I was lacking in the area of leadership, especially organizational leadership, which was desperately needed in a larger church with a volunteer team of about 50 serving alongside me.  My wife picked a book up for me at a conference she attended entitled Developing the Leader Within You  by John Maxwell.  I devoured that book and my journey to grow as a leader and learn leadership was underway.  Shortly after this I enrolled in graduate school at Lancaster Bible College & Graduate School where in earned an M.A. in Ministry with an emphasis in Leadership Studies.  Leadership 101  began a little over 10 years ago via email.  After a break of a couple years due to technological issues that couldn’t be worked out, Leadership 101 re-emerged via this blog allowing it greater exposure and reading flexibility.  If you know someone who might benefit from and be encouraged by these simple leadership insights and quotes, please spread the word.

I consider it a privilege to be on this leadership journey with you.  Lead well.
