Leadership Musings 2
09/10/2008
So many of our structures are top down putting us at the top of the pile. In Ignite our structure is presented horizontally. This is intended to make a statement that all are valued in the team. We are all part of one body. In the plans and purposes of God, the guy who designs the website is as important as the chief executive. The challenges for the leader with a desire not only to serve God but also his colleagues (Matt 26: 36-40) are how to be a servant leader? How does one display this servant-hood? In addition how to one exercise the God given called to lead and not get bogged down in doing jobs that are not his/her calling? These decisions are not easy. If we accept the leaders are similar to the position of Elder then there is presicident for being set aside for specific tasks whilst some of co-workers might be called to other functional roles.
My view is dynamic leadership means that these questions need to be frequently asked and the answers wrestled with.
