When Your Senior Pastor Doesn't Actually Lead

Todd explores reasons for this leadership gap, such as burnout, insecurity, and lack of systems, and offers practical steps for staff members to address the issue constructively. • Senior pastors sometimes fail to make critical decisions, leading to frustration among staff. • Reasons for this include burnout, insecurity, and lack of leadership systems. • It's important to acknowledge the problem and communicate with the senior pastor constructively. • Define decision-making authority clearly to avoid confusion. • Stop enabling indecisive behavior and allow the pastor to feel the responsibility. • Assess if continuing in the current role is sustainable if the situation does not improve.Have questions or comments?  Send to [email protected] sure to subscribe to The Healthy Church Staff Podcast wherever you regularly listen to podcasts.- - - - - Is Your Church Hiring?If your church is searching for a new staff member, reach out to Todd for a conversation on how he might be able to help.Are You Looking for a New Ministry Role?If you are open to a new church role in the next few months, add your free resume and profile at ChemistryStaffing.com.
