Abstract This study examined the transformational leadership approach as a remediation to the relational problem in the multi-staff ministry of the Nigeria Baptist Convention. It is observed that many a church under the Nigerian Baptist Convention is battling with unhealthy relationships among the staff, which has a negative influence on the denomination’s churches’ goals accomplishment as time and effort are wasted on conflict resolutions at the detriment of meeting the goal of the denomination and the church. In any organisation, healthy relationships are essential in achieving their goals. The level at which multi-staff ministry has been mouth-hunt is a motivating factor in writing this paper. The key characteristics and elements of transformational leaders were used in addressing relational problems in multi-staff ministry, which are Visionary Thinking, Inspirational Motivation, Individualised Consideration, Intellectual Stimulation, Emotional Intelligence, Charisma, and Commitment to Ethical Standards, Empowerment, Resilience and Determination, Commitment to Continuous Improvement. Finally, the transformational Leadership Approach was equally considered in this paper as remediation to the relational problem in the multi-staff ministry of the Nigeria Baptist Convention.
