2 dimensions of leadership

“There are 2 dimensions of leadership that are absolutely essential to every growing movement:  visionary leadership and strategic management.” – Mike Slaughter

As many of you know – I am  beginning the candidacy process to become a pastor within the United Methodist Church system (although I am open to other systems as well such as Disciples of Christ and also Christian Missionary Alliance to name a few.)

I read this and began to wonder -  if I am the visionary – who will be the strategic partner in this ministry.

While I have come up with many different options and plans for this ministry God is leading me into – I can’t help but think I need to find that strategic partner…

At some point – the day-to-day systems that are essential for the implementation of the vision will just be to much for me to handle… So here is my prayer:  that God would send someone along that can help with the strategic side of this ministry.
