Traps That Hinder Leaders: Dale Galloway enumerates these hindrances to relational ministry in his book On Purpose Leadership, Beacon Hill Press.

Insecurity—Selecting only those people who have the same gifts as the leader—or lesser gifts.

· Elitism—Developing a “leaders only” attitude that keeps one from sharing responsibility with others.

· Codependency—Making decisions not motivated solely on what’s best for others.

· Control Issues—Staying wrapped up in one’s own power needs.

· Immaturity—Caring more about themselves as leaders than others.

Lack of Trust—Conveying the idea that they don’t trust the people they’re trying to empower. (On Purpose Leadership, Galloway, Beacon Hill Press of Kansas City, 2001)
