I have been dealing with the question of a wider leadership role.
I’m now in the employ of various groups – in part because of my expertise. In such areas as small churches, libraries, ministry, writing, preaching, pastoral care, etc.
While I appreciate being recognized, I struggle with a wide exposure. Part of it may be insecurity. Part of it may be hereditary. Part of it may the emotional toll. And part of it may be pride – that the rise and fall of celebrity is notorious for being fickle.
The latest quote – not sure who to attribute it to!
“Great Leaders don’t mind being obscure leaders. The don’t have to be noticed.”
