leadership

Postmodern people are not looking for a CEO, CFO, COO CIO, or any other three-letter combinations you can think of that starting with the big "C." Today, we are looking for the poet, the prophet, and the storyteller—the narrator. We don't "lead" people as much as listen to the needs of people and guide them along the path of faith. (The community direction is not based on the desires of one person, but grows from the leader's understanding of the collective vision.)

I think primarily, you don't lead, you example. Notice I did not say, "you lead by example"—because that is somewhat impossible, and all the time doubtful. To "example" you simply are you.

I think this is well said and goes along with what i was mentioning in this post and what i discussed in a paper i wrote entitled - Contextual Leadership (i would right click and "save as"). in one sense it's all about you and your becoming - becoming inherently pushes you into others and into God and it's here that you are found and created. while that is occuring you will inevitably participate in leading actions. leadership as process and not so much role.
