Modifying PBG To Fit The Church

My Teaching Pastor did a great job sharing insights about PBG at our Board meeting this week.

Here's another challenge about PBG he shared with our Board:

"Leadership sometimes has a hard time discerning that the PBG model cannot be taken over from the secular world without modification.

One of the dangers of PBG is that Boards get enamored with holding the pastor accountable while doing little to support him. PBG is based on the premise that the CEO has authority to direct those responsible for carrying out the work of the organization. This does not hold true for the church. . . . the work of ministry is largely dependent on members volunteering their time, expertise and wealth. The members must be committed to participating in the various opportunities the staff creates to get involved in the mission and vision. However, the pastor cannot direct or order members to participate in the activities. He can teach, he can inspire, he can be a role model, but he cannot direct."

Is your Board aware of this reality? What is your Board doing to both hold your pastor accountable AND support him?
