The Forgotten Ways: Reactivating the Missional Church

In most human leadership systems it is acknowledged

that there may be one or more of the following

leadership styles:

• The entrepreneur, innovator, and ground breaker who initiates a new

product, or service, or type of organization

• The questioner or inquirer who probes awareness and fosters questioning

of current programming leading to organizational learning (

agent

provocateur)

• The communicator and recruiter to the organizational cause who markets

the idea or product and gains loyalty and allegiance to a brand

• The humanizer or people-oriented motivator who fosters a healthy relational

system through the management of meaning

• The systematizer and philosopher who is able to clearly articulate the

organizational purpose and goals in such a way as to advance corporate

understanding.
