I am currently making my way through Alan Hirsch's The Forgotten Ways- Reactivating the Missional Church and there are many gems. One of them has to do with types of leadership. Let Alan explain:
"In institutional power, it is the human institution that confers the power to an individual to perform a certain task. It is therefore primarily an external source of power that drives the role. Not so with inspirational leadership. Inspirational leadership involves a relationship between leaders and followers in which each influences the other to pursue common objectives, with the aim of transforming followers into leaders in their own right."
p. 117
"He (Jesus) changed the world forever without being an official leader, politician, or general."
p. 118
