Leadership Development Ideas
Are you a Leader or a Coordinator?
Let's be honest....just because you are heading up a ministry, that doesn't make you a "leader." There's a difference between being a leader and being a coordinator.
A coordinator is someone who has strong management skills. He can run a meeting, coordinate events and follow up on action items. His focus is usually on making it easy for his team members to do their jobs. Coordinators generally bring systems, coordination and sound management techniques to the project or situation at hand.
Leaders, on the other hand, bring passion and motivation to the team. Leaders inspire...they make their team members WANT to do their jobs. A leader's focus is generally motivation, communication and conflict resolution. Leaders usually have clear vision and help rally the team to move forward.
Moving from a coordinator to a leader takes courage. Want to be a leader? Find someone who is good at it and model after them.
