I am a leader.
God wired me that way and personally I don’t like management. But just because I don’t like management it does not mean that I shouldn’t be doing it. Its like taking out rubbish.
Just because you don’t like taking out the rubbish on the collection morning it doesn’t mean that you don’t have to do it.
Like or not we still need to manage. Church management is not the most exciting part of ministry. I think most people prefer to preach, teach, lead, pray for people and so on, …….. for me I don’t like meetings and minutes, I don’t like budget and forcasts, I don’t like boards and governance. The truth is we still need to do the budget and plan and take out the rubbish ruglarly.
Leadership creates movement. Management sustains movement and make things happen. I admire the patience of managers.
A well managed home brings joy to the family and visitors at the same time, while the parents provide leadership and direction.
A well managed business results in profit while its owner is still looking for new opportunities to trade.
Church should be managed and lead at the same time. Ministry and management go together under under great leadership.
Leaders focus on vision, mission and strategies while managers are working together to make sure goals are achieved, objectives are met, and mission accomplished.
