Leadership says, "Put the ladder against the wall."
Management says, "Put the ladder against this wall."
It is one thing to inspire people into action - that's leadership. However, we must also help to chart the course and point them in the right direction - that's management. Both are important, both can be learned, and both can be used effectively in ministry.

Thanks for the insight. Managing is important and necessary in ministry, but I think there is a fine line between managing and micromanaging. I think we must lead people to the place we sense we are to lead them and allow them to put the direction into action without micromanaging their every move.
