The “old school” mindset of leadership in an organization and/or church, is for one person to be a “triune” person (I kind of mean this sarcastically). Here is what I mean: they are the visionary, the manager, and the communicator all wrapped up into one package.
I am wondering if the “new school” mindset will employ strengths of people. In other words, what if the communicator is not a great manager? What if the manager is not visionary? What if the visionary is neither of those? Do they necessarily have to be a “triune” person in order to lead an organization? Or, could the collaborative efforts of people’s strengths take an organization/church to the next level? The responsibility is shared. The consequences are shared. The victories are shared. The “burden” is shared.
There are a number of CEO and Pastor leaders who embrace this style. The truth is, if it all falls on the CEO/Pastor there is one point of failure.
What do you think?
