Yes, I did go through the whole list, and I hope you would too, especially if you are in a leadership position. While this list is not shared from a faith perspective (at least this is what I gather), I find it certainly applicable for faith based leaders.

I am one that feels that pastors should not only receive theological education, but also leadership education. There may be similarities between the two, but there are differences as well. There are many folks that are great preachers, but are not great leaders, and/or administrators. I find it sad when I hear of a wonderful pastor, who preaches great sermons, but made a mistake due to poor leadership and decision making and it ruins their reputation. Many times it is forgotten that even pastors and other leaders in ministry can unfortunately and unintentionally cause pain and harm, even if they have memorized the Bible from beginning to end.

This list raises great points and can certainly stir some great conversation and dialogue.

Do you practice any of these?

Which ones challenge you?
