"Megachurches often conduct leadership seminars around the world. Such seminars may make the naïve assumption that leadership is culture-free and that anyone from any cultures can teach it. They often claim they are teaching the “Biblical model” of leadership, not realizing that the way they read the Bible is already influenced by their cultural theories about leadership"- Leading Across Cultures" by James Plueddemann ."
