Being on a church’s leadership team is not for the faint of heart!
As I’ve mentioned in the first 2 parts of this blog (here and here), there will come seasons that are best described as VUCA. It’s when the environment of the church is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous.
A VUCA season creates immense challenges for church leadership teams. For you have to lead in the midst of disorder and chaos. Former solutions or approaches don’t work. It’s difficult to get your head and hands around the problem.
In times like this, leaders can wonder if they bring anything helpful to the table. In times like this, leaders consider stepping down. In times like this, leaders hesitate because they don’t have confidence in navigating their current situation.
