Workin' for the Man
I have never met Sam Metcalf, but I think I would like him. Here are his tips on how to keep a young passionate leader in their proper place.
- Force them to go to school
- Give them too much money
- Tell them all the reasons why something can’t be done.
- Swamp them with paperwork and administration.
- Give them people to lead who are excessively needy.
- Limit their travel and keep them in mono-cultural contexts.
- Consistently correct them when they are provocative or prophetic in their communication.
- Make certain any initiative they take must go through multiple steps of approval.
- Insert “conserve” and “maintain” into all their conversations.
- Have someone who “gift projects” strong pastoral gifting supervise them.
- Tell them to stay when they want to go.
- Make certain they have plenty of rules and policies to live by.
- Give them a precise, detailed, inflexible job description.
