5. Motivational leader
These leaders possess insight into who needs a fresh challenge or additional
training. They can sense who needs public recognition, an encouraging word, or
a day off. They know when a pay increase, office change, title change, or
sabbatical is needed.
Unfortunately, some view the motivational style as a lightweight style of
leadership. Well, just ask team members how important it is to receive ongoing
inspiration!
I will follow a leader who will fire me up, call out the best in me,
celebrate my accomplishments, and cheer my progress, even if it means a
lower-voltage vision, an occasional bad call at a crossroads, or a periodic
lapse of managerial effectiveness.
Motivational leaders know that teammates get tired, lose focus, and
experience mission drift. Workers wonder if what they're doing really matters
to anyone--or to God. Motivational leaders don't get bitter or vengeful when
morale sinks. They see it as an opportunity to inspire and lift the spirits of
everyone on the team.
Jesus was a consistent motivator of the disciples. He changed Peter's name.
He promised his followers a hundred-fold reward in this life and in the next.
Often, Jesus would take the disciples away and say, "Let's not take a hill.
Let's sleep at the bottom of one. Let's go fishing, eat, and
hang out."
Some of our teammates would love more than anything else a day with their
leader around a campfire in an unrushed setting, instead of always being under
our command.
Remember the time Jesus said, "I call you friends"? He always promised them,
"In my Father's house are many mansions. I can't imagine spending eternity
without you people around me. You'll be with me forever."
Don't ever look down on yourself if God has given you the motivational
style.
6. Shepherding leader
This man or woman loves team members so deeply, nurtures them so gently,
supports them so consistently, listens to them so patiently, and prays for
them so diligently that the mission of the team gets achieved. It happens
primarily because of good will in the hearts of those who have been cared for
by the shepherd.
I'm on the board of World Vision, an organization that has fed starving
children for more than thirty years. They've had several different presidents,
and constituents have supported the vision, regardless of who was at the helm.
It's a different dynamic with shepherding leaders and their teams. Team
members support their shepherd, and teammates often feel, Whatever cause is
important to the leader is fine with me. If it's broadly Christian, if we can
accomplish it in community, if we can retain our shepherd, we'll do it.
Second Samuel 23 records David's leadership in the early days. He drew
together the lonely and disaffected, then shepherded them deeply and lovingly.
One night, he happened to mention that he was thirsty, but his troops were
surrounded by the enemy. Three members of his team risked their lives to sneak
behind enemy lines to bring David a jar of water. When they gave him the
water, he was so moved by their expression of love that he poured it out as a
worship
offering.
While there are many cause-driven people waiting to be drawn into a mission
by a visionary leader, there are surprising numbers of community-driven people
who want to be shepherded and loved. When they are, they will joyfully pursue
almost any kingdom purpose. If you can shepherd a group of people, you're a
leader, and you can really make a difference.
7. Team-building leader
Team-building leaders have supernatural insight into people. They find or
develop leaders with the right abilities, character, and chemistry with other
team members. They place people in the right positions for the right reasons
who will then produce the right results.
When the team-building leader gets everyone in place, he or she then says to
the team, "You know what we're trying to do. You know what part of the mission
you're responsible for. You know what part of the vision the rest of us are
responsible for. So head out. Work hard. Achieve your objectives. Communicate
with your co-laborers, but lead."
The team-building leader might not nurture or manage people well. He or she
reasons that shouldn't be necessary. If the right people are in the right
slots doing the right things for the right reasons, they'll get the work done
without the leader looking over their shoulder. Few things are as exciting to
me as drawing together the right people, putting them in the right positions,
then letting that team play hard and have fun.
8. Entrepreneurial leader
These leaders possess vision, boundless energy, and a risk-taking spirit.
Their distinguishing characteristic is they function best in a start-up
operation. They love being told it cannot be done.
But once the effort requires steady, ongoing leadership--once things get
complex and there are endless discussions about policies, systems, controls,
and databases--the entrepreneurial leader loses energy and may even lose focus
and confidence. He or she starts to peek over the fence and wonder if there's
another start-up project out there.
Entrepreneurs often feel guilty at the thought of leaving something they
gave birth to. But if they think, I can't give birth to something every few
years, something inside them starts to die. That's their style. It's important
in the kingdom.
The apostle Paul was an entrepreneurial leader. He wanted to build churches
where Christ had not been named. He wanted to pioneer them, then let someone
else run them so he could move on. He made no apologies for his leadership
style.
9. Re-engineering leader
Some leaders thrive in a situation that has lost vision or focus, or one
that has been staffed inappropriately. This kind of leader says, "Oh boy, I
get to re-engineer this whole situation." They find out what the mission was
and what it needs to be now. They decide how progress and success will be
measured. They love to tune up, heal, and revitalize hurting organizations.
But when the group is running on eight cylinders, re-engineering leaders may
not want to lead over the long haul. Often, rather than manage what they've
re-engineered, they look for another project to overhaul. When they find one,
they salivate. "Would you look at that train wreck? I'd love to get my hands
on all that twisted metal and human carnage. I could really sort that out and
make something great out of that."
10. Bridge-building leader
This leader brings a wide variety of constituencies together under a single
umbrella of leadership so that a complex organization can achieve its mission.
This feat requires enormous flexibility in a leader--the ability to
compromise and negotiate, to listen, understand, and think outside of the box.
It requires not only the ability to be diplomatic; it requires also the gift
of being able to relate to diverse people.
In a start-up venture, a leader is surrounded by those who share his or her
vision. Contrast that with a church or parachurch organization made up of
scores of well-defined constituencies, many of whom care little about the
overall vision of the ministry anymore. They just want to make sure
their interests are served.
I talked to a pastor who said, "I'm dying. The choir wants new designer
robes. The youth want a new gymnasium. The missions department wants to give
more money away. The Sunday school department wants more classrooms. The
production people want more equipment. The seniors want large-print hymnals,
and the Gen Xers want to turn the board room into a cappuccino bar."
The variety and velocity of those requests had him imagining each of those
subministries as the enemy. But that situation fires up a bridge-building
leader. A bridge builder becomes the best friend and advocate of all the
constituent groups. He or she seeks to unite them and focus their efforts.
Beyond envy
It concerns me that there is a certain amount of "gift envy" among church
leaders these days. God gave each of us our gift mix for a reason. When
leaders adopt someone else's style, they miss the unique opportunities God has
given them.
I celebrate when I look around the world and see flourishing churches of all
kinds, with many different types of leaders, because it's going to take a
variety of churches led by a variety of leaders to reach our world with the
love of Christ.
Whatever your style, recognize it, celebrate it, and step up to the plate
and lead.
