Wanted: Boring Pastors

This 16 minute TED talk by Management historian Martin Gutmann helps explain why we often look for the wrong things in pastors. Particularly when we are hiring, we like stories and drama more than competence. At the district and synod level we like programs even though we pretend we don’t. In any case, Gutman does a nice job in this Ted Talk on Boring Leadership that can easily teach us what to look for in pastors. It is worth your time and contemplation.
