Danger signs in church leadership. Each point is elaborated in the original post:
One or two of these in isolated instances are likely handle-able. A pattern of any one or any combination of these signs in a pastor or the leadership culture of a church likely indicate a stalled or dying movement.
- Insulation from criticism and/or interpretation of any criticism as attacks or insubordination.
- Paranoia about who is and who isn't in line.
- Need to micromanage or hold others back from leadership opportunities or other responsibilities.
- Impulse to horde credit and shift blame.
- Progression has become reaction.
