That’s the title of chapter 9 in this book:

Timothy Z. Witmer. The Shepherd Leader: Achieving Effective Shepherding in Your Church. Phillipsburg, NJ: P&R Publishing, 2010. 268 pp.

Excerpts (pp. 193–224):

Fail to include one of these elements and the plan will be deficient and likely to falter. . . .

1. An effective shepherding ministry must be biblical. . . . [U]nless the shepherding ministry is founded on biblical convictions, it is unlikely to survive. . . .
2. An effective shepherding ministry must be systematic. . . . [T]here must be a plan. If shepherding the flock is something elders are called to do, it is important to have a well-considered strategy to accomplish the task. . . .
3. An effective shepherding ministry must be comprehensive. . . . [I]t must include all of the members of your church. . . . [M]ost churches that claim to shepherd their people through small groups fail the comprehensiveness test. . . . [G]ive a preliminary diagnosis of each sheep. [i.e., Identify sheep as either healthy, weak, stray, lost, or circumstantially inactive.] . . .
4. An effective shepherding ministry must be relational. . . . [I]t is important for the sheep to know their shepherd and for the shepherd to know his sheep. . . .
5. An effective shepherding ministry must include the four shepherding functions. . . . knowing, feeding, leading, and protecting . . . .
6. An effective shepherding ministry must include accountability. . . . [E]lders [must] hold one another accountable to accomplish this work. . . .
7. An effective shepherding ministry must include prayer. . . . [W]e are completely dependent on the Lord for his direction and blessing on the work.
