5 Styles of Leadership that always Lose!!

#3 - The “It Will Go Away” Leader

One of the WORSE things a leader can do when they become aware of a problem is IGNORE it…because problems seldom (if ever) just go away.

One of the things I’m learning as a leader is that, when God reveals a problem to me…it isn’t so that I can remain passive about it and hope it will go away–He wants me to take action.

I know leaders who have staff issues in their church…but will not deal with them because they keep thinking if they ignore poor work performance and bad attitudes long enough that the problem will eventually correct itself. I know leaders who allow really bad programming to continue in their church…thinking that one day what is horrible will magically become good. It doesn’t.

Jesus was proactive and confronted issues when they arose. We must do the same. Don't forsake the Mission by allowing a non confrontational approach to ministry. We should always do the work of the Ministry with excellence and not allow others to approach it any other way. Move on the thing that needs to be taken care of now, today, immediately. It will not go away and in a week you will still be making excuses of why you are not dealing with the situation.

This style of Leadership always loses. DOn't let it be you....
