If much is expected in terms of results, starting with what the desired results are, but you micromanage, and set the agenda without giving credence to the needs, wants, and desires of your ministry team, you might observe the following symptoms:
High Expectation/Low Freedom
•Autocratic leaders
•Volunteers serve out of legalistic obligation
•Ministry Team fulfills mission on behalf of church rather that engages the church in the mission
• Folks disengaged?: “We’re better off without them”
• Support of organization is paramount to support of the members of the organization
• "If you want an idea to die, give it to the staff"
• You spend more time working to get butts in the seats than facilitating ideas and discussions and sharing remarkable stories
•Tyranny of Excellence
Expectations: What do you really think those you serve are capable of? What is it you belief will happen as a result of your efforts?
Freedom: How much latitude you give your ministry team to lead, to set vision, purpose, mission, and values and to evaluate the results?
