CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Background of the study

In the past decades numerous research articles have been published regarding the autocratic leadership (Bennis, 2003).

The effective pastor must be assessed not only around congregation and financial growth, but also in relationship to how the parishioners understand the nature of God and how He works in the lives of humans (Eaton, 2002 ). In one survey in which more than 2400 Protestant pastors were interviewed, less than 2% of senior pastors felt they were providing a below average job of leading their congregations. Ministers who believed they were leaders defended it based on their skills in teaching and encouraging people. However, those pastors who saw themselves as leaders ranked themselves low on attributes such as “mobilizing people to pursue a vision,” building up substantial resources toward that pursuit, and providing “clear direction based on the nature of the vision” (Coutu, 2002 ). This seems to indicate a problem in the perception of ministerial ...
