Musings on Leadership # 2

More leadership musings.

As a continuation from the last time I posted, I am looking back on those things that have instilled themselves in me and congealed to help shape what I believe with regard to Christian Leadership enjoy:

There is a dark side to Christian Leadership it's called paranoia I don't want to go there because it eats a leaders soul like a canker.

When training other leaders and encouraging them to develop programmes then I say " Go for it". If it goes well we all look good. If it goes wrong I need to be big enough to carry the can.

Christian leaders need to be long in the ears and short in the mouth, not the other way round.

When at a conference and you are the guest speaker, spend as much time as you can talking to people who have paid to be at the conference, not just your hosts. Only use the green room when you arrive.

People like to know that their leaders are human and get things wrong from time to time.

When making an urgent decision and time is not on your side don't hesitate, even if you don't have all the information. Indecisiveness can send the wrong signals. If you get it wrong correct it.

If you are obese unfit and sit at your desk all day you are not a great Leader, that goes for church leadership.

Have fun being a church leader it makes everything else so much more enjoyable.

Do real life with people, don't be one thing at the office another at home and still another on the golf course.

Always esteem others greater than yourself. Without them you could not be the leader you are.

The 1970's Christian Coffee Shop

I remember as a new Christian being invited into a Christian Coffee shop in the town where I grew up. It was clean and tidy, the table tops were all brightly painted in different colours, but mainly yellow and scattered on top were a random selection of Christian tracts. Fish symbols and Christian posters proclaiming that there was but 'One Way' to heaven were everywhere. The music playing out of the stereo was The Bill Gather Trio or Dolly Parton singing Gospel. The crockery, was a mixed assortment of coffee mugs, donated by keen supporters of this outreach to the unsaved sinners and ungodly people living in the city. The coffee was a local brand heavily mixed with chicory. In all the years the Coffee Shop operated, I never saw a non-Christian go in and I never heard of a person coming to faith through having coffee there. I never really understood its purpose. Fast forward to today, when I was asked recently, to advise on helping a local community church open a c...

The myth of Ministry Leadership.

The myth that all leaders are leaders. Not everyone who leads in church is a leader. I think it is wrong, for Church leaders to believe that those they train up to take various ministry leadership positions, are in fact leaders in their own right. They are not. At best I would categorise these people- that many churches call 'ministry leaders' as ministry managers. "At one level there is nothing wrong with title inflation; it is a cheap way of recognising people who work hard and make serious contributions" Jo Owen. I am of the opinion that this title inflation undervalues both the leader and the ' ministry manager' and can often bring about confusion and mismatched expectations. Many churches have ministry training evenings for their volunteers. Many use the reason for this training is "to make a person a better leader," when in fact the only thing actually happening is that th...

Christian leaders and how to fire a Christian employee.

This weeks ramblings. I was asked this week if it was OK for Christian employers to fire other Christian staff. Firstly let me state that it is always important to follow the laws of the country that you live in, but the question should be; Do I as an employer have the right to fire other staff Christian or not. The short answer is YES! Let me give you two examples I have come across; Case Study 1; The CEO of medium sized Christian organisation dealing in books and other Christian Literature had a problem with one of their staff. The person concerned, let’s call him Pete, seemed to push everybody’s buttons. Pete had been with the company 2 years, his first six months were just great but after that everything went downhill. He always complained, he bad mouthed his managers. At company social gatherings, when sport was played, he never played with any great sportsmanship; it seemed that every decision was wrong or somebody had a beef with him. But, Pete went to the same c...
