I think the whole subject of Leadership is both interesting and important. I have added some things to the on going understand of this important subject, I am sure not the last word but I hope a good contribution.
3. Leadership
• All over the world in every area we
need leadership Business, Politics,
Education, Media, and of course the
church
• We tend to forget there are different
kinds of leadership, Paternalistic,
Dictatorial, Hierarchical, Pyramid
style, Arrow style,
• What style should the church have
4. Different leadership styles produce
different results
• So Pyramid style quick off the mark things
get done
• Dictator ship means recourses get
channelled for a goal
• Arrow style leadership means things get of
slower but tend to go a lot further than the
pyramid style
• Paternalistic get things done but others
don’t grow up
• Hierarchical also gets things done but
doesn’t facilitate others
5. So what else happens in leadership
• Some of us get impressed by titles ‘Pastor’
• Some people tells us they are leaders but
no one is following them
• Some tell us they are leaders but couldn't
make a decision to drink tea or water
• Some tell us they are leaders because
someone else gave them a title – like
standing in a field of donkeys makes you
one
6. Some Basics
• Leaders are people who others follow
• Leaders are people who make decisions
• Leaders sometime make wrong decisions
because decision making means you can
sometime be wrong
• Leader are going somewhere otherwise
why follow them
• Leaders take risks for all the above reasons
• Leaders are people who will step out of the
boat, and can sometime become water
walkers
7. The Difference between
Organisation and organic
• A company is organisational
• A business is organisational
• A club is organisational
• A person is organic
• A field of maze is organic
• Church is ORGANIC
• Living growing developing
8. Therefore Leadership will be
different
• Leadership that recognises the
organic
• Leadership that takes its cue from
Life not simply organisation
• Leadership that understands that its
direction is coming from another
world – kingdom- paradigm
• Leadership that takes its mentoring
from a Jesus perspective
9. Yes we need to Lead
• But that leadership style needs to
reflect the Kingdom that we are and
will be part of rather than the
Kingdom of this world.
