Everything boils down to leadership. To successfully implement an all-inclusive men’s discipleship ministry (or for that matter any worthwhile idea) requires three kinds of leadership: visionary, strategic, and operational. Without the right kind of leadership at the right time, it’s unlikely you will be able to sustain a men’s discipleship ministry in your church. Most leaders will be a little of each, but usually one tendency dominates. And just as a chameleon changes colors, every leader adapts to the situation at hand based upon where they find themselves on the continuum in Figure 1. Still, as a leader you will have a primary or default mode to which you naturally migrate. Once you know your basic tendency, you can save a lot of time and heartache by not trying to be somebody you’re not. You also will know the other kinds of leadership you need to recruit.
