The dynamically transforming environment of the Church is seeking for a strong and effective leadership. At the parish level it is the parson who can be such a transformational leader. A trans-formational leader is a person with a clear vision which he is tending to implement, he is the one able to convince the people he leads to support his vision. The parson as a transformational leader has vision of a parish of the future as well as necessary qualifications for implementing it and for attracting the majority of parishioners. In the process of transformation the parson should use the following management styles in the parish: the missionary, integration, persuasive, promotional and democratic style.
