Zondervan and Jossey-Bass Publishing Initiatives
Leadership Network has now inked multi-year, multi-title deals with both Zondervan and Jossey-Bass.


Leading the charge on both alliances is Publishing Director Greg Ligon, who has successfully managed several other key Leadership Network programs and strategies during his 8 years with the organization. Working closely with Greg to help shape the new programs is consultant Mark Sweeney, whose 30-year career includes stints as publisher at 3 major Christian publishing houses.

The Leadership Network Innovation Series (Zondervan) will provide pastors and other church leaders with success stories, analyses and practical "how-to" resources for putting truly innovative ideas into practice. Equally exciting, the Leadership Network Publications imprint (Jossey-Bass) will deliver thoroughly researched and innovative concepts from preeminent thinkers, practitioners and pioneering churches.
"Leadership Network has long been committed to bringing the best in innovation to as many pastors and church leaders as possible," says Tom Wilson, President and CEO of Leadership Network. "Drawing on the strength and expertise of these great publishing houses will obviously help us do so in powerful new ways. And as the appointments of Greg Ligon and Mark Sweeney show, we will be devoting substantial resources to make the most of this exciting opportunity for our authors-and our readers. "
