In my context a more spiritual approach will be much more effective and for that reason, I chose a model that was predicated upon an encounter. Therefore, the research led me to the Seals and Parker Character Model, Walter Fluker's Ethical Model and Joshua's Leadership Model (as described in the Bible). Seals and Parker's Character Model, helps followers to change, to move from where they are to where they want to be by recognizing that the work of transformation belongs to God and that anyone in a leadership position is a steward not an owner. Producing changed which is facilitated by intentional development (teamwork) and love (connection). Fluker's Model rests upon the triangular interrelated dimensions of human existence: self, social and spiritual. Lastly, the Joshua's Model in my context addresses the need for leadership and ministry to cross-over into what has been both prophesized and promised. Consequently, this is predicated upon the ministry operating within the three distinct biblical leadership functions of: Servant, Steward and Shepherd.

This project culminated in the creation of the Robinson Model of leadership which differs from that of Seals and Parker Character model and Fluker's triangular model because it employs vision (the ability to imagine and implement what things could and should be according to divine direction) as the key component of the four phases: Discernment, Development, Direction, and Deployment.
