FROM CHURCHLEADERS:
Given the stress many church leaders are under during this COVID-19 crisis, I’m updating and reposting this word from 2015 to encourage each of us to be aware of leadership fatigue.
15 Signs of Leadership Fatigue
1. Living by a “get me through the day” philosophy
You may begin the day with prayer, but just surviving the day is your prayer theme.
2. Losing vision
A leadership vision assumes a commitment far beyond today. Fatigued leaders, though, don’t consider beyond the end of this workday.
3. Developing poor sleep patterns
The patterns may vary, but they still reflect fatigue: too much sleep as you seek to avoid perceived reality, or too little sleep when you can’t get perceived reality out of your mind.
