I recently ran a one day workshop for church administrators. During the day we spent some time reflecting on how they might best describe the main elements of their role.
If you are a church administrator or work with someone who is, I wonder of any of the below descriptions resonate with you?
Feel free to suggest your own!
Guard dog – protecting the clergy or others from all comers
Conductor – making sure all parts of the church work in harmony.
Oil can – stepping in to keep the wheels turning
Chief dispenser of tea and sympathy
Jack of all trades – if it needs sorting, guess who will do it
Chief enforcer – the one who makes sure things get done around here
Scapegoart – for when you need to find a person to blame
