Can you imagine rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls—as recorded in Nehemiah—under modern leadership models?
You could go with the What-do-you-think? leader. He would hold a
meeting to determine what the majority opinion was on design options and
choice of building materials.
You could choose the I-don’t-care-what-you-think leader. He would
make his decisions in a vacuum, leaving the inevitable problems to
others.
And there’s always the I-need-time-to-think leader. His indecisiveness would delay progress and frustrate those trying to help.
Of course, none of these leadership models are unique to our time.
Indeed, they were around-in one form or another—in Nehemiah’s day.
