Been thinking about this a lot lately: leadership in churches. All churches have elder boards that represent the congregation, and these boards (along with the pastor/rev) lead the church, decide the direction and vision. Two branches here:
On the one hand, I'm a natural leader. Relate well to people. Can convey empathy. Organized. Focused. And at this point in my walk, feel like I have the presence.
On the other, I'm a natural leader for work, not the spiritual. Relate well to clients, but how about to peers? Convey empathy, but empathize...? The organization and the focus -- well, that's fine. And sure, presence now, but where's it been? And why's it taken so long? And how long you planning on staying?
Are the best church leaders real leaders or something else? Must one actually care for the flock, or want to care for the flock? Ready or doubting? Me or something shadowed else?
