“The antidote to a culture of self- promoting leaders is one where leaders – and everyone else – repent often and forgive often, delighting themselves in the Lord, praying and praising him for the glory of his wonderful grace. A culture, therefore, in which leaders can lead out of weakness, no longer needing to be impressive or having to prove themselves to receive praise and affirmation from people.”
Marcus Honeysett, Powerful Leaders?: When Church Leadership Goes Wrong And How to Prevent It

“It is quite possible for leaders to become self-promoting without realizing it. Over time, defending their reputation becomes important to retaining and growing control. They become harder to disagree with because of the combination of the control they exert within the formal structure and the relational support they can gather privately outside of it.”

“Authority, used correctly, is a deeply positive, nurturing thing.”
Marcus Honeysett, Powerful Leaders?: When Church Leadership Goes Wrong And How to Prevent It

“The key principle, however, is this: power must be exercised wholly for the benefit of others and not for the benefit of the leader. Christian leadership, modelled on Jesus’ leadership, is self-giving, not self- serving.”
Marcus Honeysett, Powerful Leaders?: When Church Leadership Goes Wrong And How to Prevent It

“Perhaps we find it easy to sympathize with leaders who, in the face of unsustainable expectations, step outside their legitimate authority to ‘get the job done’. But what happens in the process is that they discover they can exercise power that isn’t rightfully theirs, and the church won’t question it but rather allows them to act unaccountably. The unspoken understanding is that the minister is the CEO, so is probably authorized to do whatever they like. This is a first step towards people looking to the minister rather than to Jesus.”
