Most Common Mistakes In Ministry Leadership

Here are several of the most common mistakes that those of us in ministry leadership make. And I can tell you from personal experience, I have fallen prey to several of these mistakes at one time or another. And although not all of these mistakes and failures and necessarily fatal - they will often derail you, distract you and discourage you in the ministry that God has called you to do.

• Treating Ministry as an Idol
• Not Creating Boundaries Around your Devotion to God
• Always Reacting and Putting Out Fires
• No Personal Accountability
• Forsaking Family - putting them on the altar of ministry
• Talking to Much/Not enough Listening
• Not Being A Life-Long Learner
• Failing To Delegate
• Not Developing Others Around You
• Not Hiring Well
• Not Celebrating the Wins - a tendency to focus on the negative
• Exaggeration 
• Prayerlessness
