Finding leaders: by election or appointment?

Another thought-provoking quote from How To Break Growth Barriers by Carl George:

"The future tells us that appointment, rather than election, will be the more common way people come to ministry. A church that hands most of its ministry slots to elected positions is on a collision course. Elections too often operate on popularities, not ministry competencies." (p. 152)

Do you agree? Have you experienced this in your church? If so, what are you doing about it?
