Leaders are constantly dealing with their own version of rip currents – unseen, powerful forces that will pull them away from where God is leading them and their church or ministry. The force may be direct opposition that comes from within or outside the organization. Or it may be the subtler temptation to take the easy path.

While it may not be easy, leaders need to get clear about what is life-giving for them, and then they need to prioritize this on their calendars. Pause for a minute and think of a job-related activity that is life-giving.

This is the kind of advice that sounds good on paper, but when the rubber meets the road, it can be scary. The only thing that’s scarier would be for a generation of high-potential leaders to walk away from an inflexible church.

While momentum is powerful, it is unwise to ignore the reality that other forces are at work.

We are quick to label people based on our own personality and standards, and one of the big divides is between those who are people-oriented versus those who are much more task-oriented.
