Relationship Management
Jeff Sandstrom and Dillan Howell focus on people management in leadership, highlighting the importance of human connections and relationships in leading a team. Leadership styles and preferences can be diverse, not everyone aspires to be in a leading position over others. There is a common misconception in church culture that declining leadership roles equates to lacking ambition. Leaders should actively engage in building relationships and influencing their team members, rather than just seeking a leadership position.
Key Points:
- Leadership is not only about managing tasks, but also about effectively managing people, recognizing that each team member is an individual with unique needs and aspirations.
- It's important to acknowledge and respect that some individuals are content with their roles and do not aspire to take on leadership positions.
- The concept of genuine leadership is moving beyond the desire for a title or position to truly engaging with and guiding team members.
- The importance of active relationship building and personal engagement with team members is a key aspect of effective leadership.
- A leader's calendar and social media can reflect their priorities, whether they focus more on tasks or on building relationships and influencing people.
- This should be a challenge for leaders to evaluate their current approach to leadership, to prioritize people and relationships if they truly wish to lead and influence effectively.
