Management Complements Leadership
Jesus was a leader worth following. He was also a manager who managed well. He understood the importance of an orderly process, and He implemented it effectively. Leadership ensures the enterprise is on the right strategic path, and management is the method for executing the mission. Leadership will languish without good management moving critical initiatives forward.

Wise managers clearly define who, what, when, where, and how. Their attention to detail supports the team’s objectives. Managers diagnose problems and bring solutions to bear. They remove obstacles and reclaim progress. Managers implement methods that support the success of the organization. Like the Lord in His creation, they bring order and discipline to the enterprise.

Successful managers are almost obsessive about clear communication and mission-critical measurements. They constantly ask, does the team understand their responsibilities? Are the schedule and the deadline clear? How can we be better at what we do? What are the leading indicators telling us, and how do we need to adjust?

As a manager, you are a steward of God’s time, money, and resources at home and at work. So seek the owner for His wisdom. Make sure you know how He expects you to treat people and oversee the process. Good managers make people their priority while still managing below budget. Your task may seem impossible, but you can trust the Lord to multiply your efforts and resources in creative and innovative ways. Stay faithful to manage well, and you will be in a position to be interested with much more.
