Despite our faith, Christian leaders don’t always have the healthiest practices. It’s so easy to get defensive in leadership. After all, all the problems no one else can solve land on your desk.
What makes it really difficult is that sometimes …
#1 You weren’t involved in the project in the first place.
#2 You wanted to take a different direction and got outvoted.
#3 You didn’t even know about it until things blew up.
When any of these things happen, everything inside you wants to say, “it’s not my fault.” Who doesn’t want to escape blame?
Sometimes saying it’s not my fault is more subtle than those four words.
