Outcomes
• Provide a Conceptual framework for the difference between leading and managing
• Offer the opportunity for you to apply these concepts to your ministry
• Identify 1-2 things to act upon immediately
Leadership vs. Management• Leaders help their organizations
identify vision, mission, values… the future! They focus on big picture and top priorities
• Managers implement the vision and plan. They follow direction, and focus on operational level.
Leadership vs. Management
What & Why Leaders
How & When Managers
Leadership vs. Management
Both leadership and management are essential elements of organizational
achievements.
Do We Have to Choose?
• The reality is that many pastoral leaders have to be BOTH Leaders and Managers.
• So the key question is knowing when to wear the Leader hat and when to put on the Manager hat.
• Problems for which we can find the solutions.
• Requires expertise with necessary know-how and procedures.
• Operational-Level problems that focus on creating systems, processes, etc.
Managers Solve Technical Problems
• Problems not amenable to authoritative expertise/standard operating procedures.
• Cannot be solved by someone who provides answers from on high.
• Require experiments, new discoveries, and adjustments from numerous places in the organization or community.
Leaders solve Adaptive Problems
Leadership vs. Management

Leadership vs. Management
Leaders Change & Movement[Mission-focused]
Managers Effectiveness & Efficiency
Leadership vs. Management
LeadersSee themselves as promoters of change, as challengers of the status quo in that they encourage creativity and risk taking
Managers See themselves as preservers of the status quo
Leadership vs. Management
Leaders Are concerned with doing the right things
Managers Are concerned with doing things right
Leadership vs. Management
Leaders Are more concerned with ends, what gets done
Managers Are more concerned with means, how to get things done
• Plan and budget• Organize and staff• Status quo• Short-term• Controlling • Means • Builders
• Envision and direct• Align employees• Change• Long-term• Inspiring/motivating• Ends • Architects
Managers Leaders
Leadership vs. Management
• Often promoted because they are good at operational tasks
• Have to shift their thinking to Leader-focused activities – vision, mission, values
• Many new leaders don’t do this well – they continue doing what they know
When Managers Become Leaders
• Micro-manage• No common vision articulated –
creates silos• Disputes go unresolved• Focus is on tasks instead of progress
When Leaders act like Managers
• Do most of your challenges require leading or managing?
• What area is more challenging for you?• What is one action that you can
commit to when you return to your ministry?
