Good list. Reading, in particular, is essential; it helps build thought capacity and learning capability. On Ask the Right Questions, I would add you need to ask the right people. In other words, don’t ask the right questions of your “comfortable” group. Get out of your comfort zone and engage with people who are not within your normal circle. Be challenged as well as challenging!

I don’t agree though – if your church has no children’s ministry, you probably need one. It may not be the best one in the world, but it’s got to start somewhere?

And ultimately, there are some people who are never going to be the best in the world, surely? I’m a hard working chap, and I felt God call me to lead a punk band, but there’s no way we were the best Punk band in our town, let alone the world.

God uses rubbish people as leaders all the time! Look at the disciples. Didn’t Jesus tell us to be the least, not the best?

I think there’s one thing missing here: that’s submission.

It comes from the challenging stuff issue – its too easy to get on your “challenging horse”, and there will always be things wrong that need addressing.

Sometimes the mark of a leader is having the maturity to accept that some people, situations and congregations aren’t ready for a particular challenge yet.

Great post! I wish there were more leaders who believed in the ideas you outlined. I think next generation leaders need extra encouragement to dare to dream. It also helps to have some Godly counsel to lean on when a lot of those big ideas don’t work out. It’s easy to get caught up in the world’s view of leadership and doubt yourself. Posts like this help leaders stay the course and understand its OK to take risks. Thanks for sharing.

Right on! I worked for the Alliance Defense Fund, a tremendous Christian judicial organization, and it was required reading.

I’m new to Big is the New Small and I’m really enjoying it. Great stuff.
