that business faculty members have been afforded the opportunity to engage in focused work and planning on how to better integrate the exploration of vocation into the business curriculum. Through discussions and research related to our College’s intellectual and theological conceptions of vocational calling, we have gained insights on how to disseminate the topic of vocation throughout the business curriculum(Windes, 2014) and to structure opportunities for students to contemplate, explore, and act upon their understandings of vocation and God’s plan for them in this area(Harkema, 2014). Connected to the development of vocational knowledge in students has been the awareness that as we strive to help students understand God’s plan for their vocation we also need to help them develop their vision and understanding of how they will interact with and honor co-workers in their work environments. Our CBFA 2014 conference paper and presentation focuses on our work around the following questions: 1. What does leadership mean and entail, particularly from a Christian perspective? 2. What qualities do students need to have in order to live out their leadership potential? 3. What approaches can assist students in discovering and developing their leadership potential
