5. Leaders model how they want things done.
There’s a balance you need to strike in your ministry.
If all you ever do is tell people how to do ministry and you never show them, ministry will never happen.
But if you do all the ministry yourself and never allow others to work alongside you, what you know will never be passed along.
Some leaders never find that balance between doing and telling. They either try to do it all themselves, or they tell workers how to do a puppet show, or lead a child to Christ, or run a bus route—but workers never see a demonstration of what the leaders want. There’s just talk.
You’ll know you’ve found the right balance when your workers can describe for you what you want because you’ve told them, and you’ve set expectations through a demonstration.
What’s your plan for modeling what you want from others?
