Todd Hunter has put down some good stuff on leadership in missional communities. Check it out. (His entry from Monday, May 5)
Here's one bit I really appreciated:
Why is the approach to leadership we are suggesting better than other models (CEO/Senior Pastor, etc.)?
....5. It is leader-full; a place where every member of the Body is a potential leader (situationally) as the Spirit enables them. It creates “places of realized potential” (Max DePree), giving people the opportunity to learn and grow. The role of leaders is to unleash “the leader” that is in every Christian. Other systems, claiming great leadership, with one man or a few people on “top” doing all the leading, are actually leader-less in comparison.
