Leaders: 5-10% of the population. Working Through Others. Time frame: Long-Term.
Managers: Working with others to go do something. Problem-Solvers. 30-35% of Population. Time Frame: Mid-Term, 6 months to 2 years.
Doers: Some lead by doing. They have a short-term span of attention. 60 % of Population. They tip their hat at budget time, they look at the nickel and dime stuff. Time Frame: Short, 6 months.
Leaders need managers they can trust.
You’ll never move a congregation forward without a critical mass of leaders committed to a shared vision of discipleship.
All of the great leaders of the Bible were first great followers. The deeper we go, the farther we’ll go. Leadership that follows the Spirit is opportunistic. What doors is God opening? The challenge: Which good of the many is the right one for me? What is my calling?

Hersey-Blanchard (Life Cycle) Model: Selecting the appropriate style requires the leader to determine the readiness of his followers.
Ability refers to their having the skills knowledge, and experience to perform a task. Readiness refers to whether they have the motivation, commitment and confidence to do the task. A follower’s readiness likely increases over the life of his or her relationship with the leader, calling for a change in the leader’s style over time.

If you embody discipleship, you will begin to exhibit a gravitational pull that is nothing short of the Holy Spirit. Mike Foss' book Power Surge describes six spiritual disciplines, PWR SRG. The first three are inward works: pray daily, worship weekly, read the Bible daily. The second three are outward practices: Serve in and beyond the church, form Relationships that let you share your faith, and Give the tithe. The premise of his book is that if you practice these disciplines, you will see a Power Surge of the Spirit in your life like nothing you've seen before. I have found that to be true.
