Learning Not to Lead
by Mark on Jun.23, 2009, under Leadership
At the end of this month I am officially no longer an Elder at Grace Crossing. Due to uncertainty with my job and the fact that our bylaws state that Elders must take sabbatical every four years, I asked for this to be my term. The difference for me – it is a resignation not a sabbatical.
The past four years overall has been a very rewarding but humbling experience. Sure there’s things I won’t miss – such as living my life in a fishbowl and some of the stinging criticisms. But things I will miss are putting together strategic plans and implementing vision.
I’ve spent my whole life learning to lead. Now I’m learning not to lead.
