Even though I don't pastor a large church. there are a few things I have learned about leadership. Here are two things I have learned.
First, you are not going to make everyone happy so quit worrying about it. It doesn't matter if you are leading a church, a business, a manager on your job or you are trying to run a household. You are going to have to make decisions and not everyone will understand or be happy about your decisions. But somebody has to make the decision. You have to keep in mind what the goal or vision is, that you are trying to accomplish and then go for it. Ultimately you are trying to please God in everything, and He is the only one that really matters.
The second is vitally important as well. Do not let little trivial things distract you or keep your attention. In every thing whether it is church, business, job or home. Little trivial things will try to take up your time and distract you from the overall goal. You have to learn to rise up above those things that do not deserve your attention and keep pursuing the goal. Remember Song of Solomon 2:15 it is the little foxes that ruin the vineyard. The enemy will try to distract you will all kind of trivial issues. We have to be like Nehemiah in Neh. 6:3 "I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you?"
Learn to maintain focus and realize you are going to have to make decisions, no matter what. Are job is to do what God said and make Him happy.
