A good pastor knows how to trust people and how to give them authority to fulfill all kinds of tasks. He tries to make himself unnoticed and unnecessary. Don’t be indispensable!

A real pastor will always show respect for people.

Only a real pastor and a true leader will be looking for ways to train and equip his people to develop their potential.

A good shepherd encourages and inspires each one that works alongside him.

A real pastor — a good shepherd — is always concerned about the personal development of every individual person in his church.

A good shepherd has a positive influence on his people through "inward work", i.e. working on them from the inside.

You have to become a ladder that other people climb up in their path to success. If you are not ready for that, then you are not ready to be a pastor.
