4. Church Leadership
A new kind of church needs a new kind of leadership
As society enters a new consciousness, it generates a new model of leadership (Frederic Laloux)
"The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence –
it is to act with yesterday's logic." (Peter Drucker)

5. Leadership Styles through the Years
Traditional: Individual in charge maximizes performance - getting work done through people. Individual in charge initiates and manages change.
Modern: Individual in charge facilitates new thinking.
Postmodern: Leadership as pure influence emerges from multiple, unexpected sources; a distinct act, not an ongoing role; fluid
After postmodern?
How about Jesus’ leadership style? Is it also time-bound?

7. Shifts in Bukal's Understanding of Church Leadership
Leader is Vision-shaped
- Vision of church, the way one looks at church, shapes one's leadership style
- First question is not "What kind of leaders do we need now?"
But "What kind of church do we want to be?"
- What kind of Church does God wants us to be?
- For example: Bukal vision of a Participatory Church in the World:
Participating in the life of God, in the life of One Another/Community,
in the life of the World
For Bukal, Leaders are those that facilitate the emergence of this kind of church
SHIFT FROM PERSON TO PURPOSE

8. Shifts in Bukal's Understanding of Church Leadership
2) Responsibility of the Community, not One Person
Leader to Leaders/Team of Leaders
All are called to leadership, to be responsible for the growth of the group
All share in the priestly, prophetic, kingly office of Christ
There is a leader/leaders,
but their role is to give space, build up, engage the leadership of ALL
Good leader equals good leaders (not good followers)
SHIFT FROM INDIVIDUAL TO COMMUNITY

9. Shifts in Bukal's Understanding of Church Leadership
3) Leader to Leadership
SHIFT FROM STRUCTURE TO PROCESS
Structure: position, roles, rights, rules, procedures
Process: renewal, transformation, change
- Leaders initiating, supporting change process
First order of change is oneself: Be the change you want to happen
Why do people resist change?
Leaders facilitate a climate for change, so that people are open to change
Give people the ownership of change
For Jesus, change is a relationship, not a project
Change, renewal in the church is our way of following God more faithfully in our world

10. Shifts in Bukal's Understanding of Church Leadership
4) Leadership as a Ministry
SHIFT FROM POSITION TO RELATIONSHIP
We used to understand leadership as a position of power
But leadership in the church is a ministry
Every ministry is meant to build up the body of Christ, the church
Jesus led people not by giving rules, but by relating with people
Following Jesus' leadership, we church leaders lead by relating to people in a way that builds them up, in a way that builds us up
Leadership as friendship ("I call you friends." John 15:14-15)
Friendship as a more relaxing, more upbuilding, more fulfilling way of leading

11. Shifts in Bukal's Understanding of Church Leadership
5) Leadership as Mission-led
SHIFT FROM STATIC TO DYNAMIC
Church is mission, exists for mission;
All forms and ways of being church therefore responds to mission
Leadership is mission-led, responds to mission in specific contexts
If leadership is responsive to challenges of specific contexts, then
leadership is dynamic and not static
because contexts are always changing
We do not change just because it is trendy to change,
But because we are called to be faithful to the mission of Jesus in our time

12. Shifts in Bukal's Understanding of Church Leadership
1) Leader is Vision-shaped
SHIFT FROM PERSON TO PURPOSE/VISION
2) Communal Responsibility
SHIFT FROM LEADER TO LEADERS
3) Leadership
SHIFT FROM STRUCTURE TO PROCESS
4) Leadership as Ministry
SHIFT FROM POSITION TO RELATIONSHIP
5) Leadership as Mission-led
SHIFT FROM STATIC TO DYNAMIC

14. E-LEADERSHIP: EMMAUS LEADERSHIP FOR A CHURCH ON WAY
Church and society changing rapidly and we need a kind of leadership that responds to the challenges of such times.
E-leadership is a leadership framework based on the story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35) – an Evoking, Engaging, Empowering and Evolving leadership.
Early Christian communities in the Bible (Acts) called ‘people of the way’: they became known for a way of living that is different and noticeable.
'People of the way' It could also mean people on the move, a pilgrim people –
one of the oldest biblical images of church.
E-leadership is a way of leading – a leadership framework and praxis that is on the move, moving with our challenging times: a pilgrim leadership for a pilgrim church.

16. EVOKING LEADERSHIP : ON THE ROAD WITH QUESTIONS
Leaving Jerusalem, taking distance, taking time out to look at the situation with discernment
Bringing out the questions, the frustrations, the joys and hopes
Listening to the voice of the stranger, the voice of the Other
Facing the issues of the road
Sensing the way: where to go, what signposts to note, what road turns to consider
Leadership is led by the questions and the frustrations of our communities/context

17. ENGAGING LEADERSHIP: ENCOUNTERING JESUS AT HOME
Inviting Jesus in our hearts, in our homes
Feeling at home with Jesus, staying in his presence
Dialoguing with Jesus - Jesus brings out the bigger picture;
Attracts us to a higher purpose/vision
Allowing the saving memories/dangerous memories to come alive
Engaging absence: where is Jesus present in our time?
“Stay with us, the day is almost over”: encountering Jesus in an act of mercy, mission service
Leadership is led by the 'absent'/present Jesus

18. EMPOWERING LEADERSHIP: BACK TO JERUSALEM WITH HEARTS BURNING
Back to Jerusalem: Responsive to the road they are taking
Leadership changing face because of 'hearts burning'
Change came from new experiences with Jesus
Leadership based on influence (moral leadership): they have seen the Lord!
Responsive to a higher purpose: evolutionary purpose (Vision of Jesus)
Clearer identity, direction and focus (Mission of Jesus)
Building up communities of leaders
Leadership is led by hearts burning for Jesus’ vision-mission

19. EVOLVING LEADERSHIP: LEADERSHIP ON THE MOVE

Widening the circles of leadership

What questions do they ask “on the road”?
What issues/concerns do they have?
What makes them happy? Sad?
What are their dreams?
Are we listening to the “voice of the stranger”?
As a leader, what are your questions? Frustrations and hopes?

22. ENGAGE Where is Jesus present in our place and time?
How do we encounter Jesus as leaders? How do we facilitate a Jesus encounter in our church groups/communities?
How can we more intensely listen to Jesus?
How can we retrieve the dangerous and uncomfortable but saving memories of Jesus?
What do we do so that the community could be engaged in discovering the Kingdom/Gospel values in their context?
ENGAGE

23. EMPOWER How do we keep the fire of Jesus burning in our hearts?
How can people catch and share the vision & mission of Jesus?
What openings do we facilitate so that people are able to discover the “power” within them?
How do we grow people into discovering their leadership capacities?
How do we lead leaders?
EMPOWER

24. What experiences do we facilitate so that they are able to replicate the Jesus encounter?
How do we motivate them so that they themselves become change agents in their communities?
How do they let others catch the vision as well?
How do we develop communities of missionary disciples?
