Christian Leaders

Mark Dever in A Display of God's Glory quotes the interaction of a Japanese businessman with a visiting Australian (as told by Os Guiness),

'Whenever I meet a Buddhist leader, I meet a holy man. Whenever I meet a Christian leader, I meet a manager.'

HT Steve Mckoy

This isn't always the case but I do think most American Pastors hide behind the ceo-manager-mentality. This may explain why most Christian Leaders seem tired all the time and stand offish. The 'keep everyone happy', people pleasing, manager mentality can make anyone want to take a hike when pastoral duties call.
