Hound-Dog Leadership
Have you ever seen a person, or group of people, walking along with a dog trotting along out in front of them. If you notice, the dog will look back every now and then to make sure he’s still being followed. If the person, or persons, walking have turned another way, he will immediately turn and run and get in front of them. He may think he’s leading, but he’s just running in front of which ever way those behind him have decided to go.
That’s not a true leadership model. That’s certainly not the model we find in any biblical leader that God placed in front of his people. Hopefully, every pastor has made a covenant with God, that as God shows him the direction in which to lead, that’s the direction he will surely go. In such a case, if people fail to follow, their real proplem is with God.
