Attended the funeral service of Mr Fred Wall on Tuesday and was thoroughly blessed at the life and testimony of a man who was changed by Jesus Christ's work in his life - and now his redemption is complete as Pastor Sweis Ubels preached so well. However, for me the most touching and challenging part was the tribute read by my friend Dave Wall, Fred's son. Dave shared about his father who was "hands on" at just the right times and "hands off" at just the right times. He expressed so well a concept/idea that has been running through my mind for various reasons over the past few days.
And it clearly has applications to leadership - which may also explain why Dave is such a fine leader with New Tribes Mission serving in Papua New Guinea. There are times when a leader needs to be "hands on" with a task, project or person and other times when the best leadership is "hands off."
