| Summary: | This article examines the traits and competencies that characterize effective move-ment catalysts, based on a study of 147 effective movement catalysts from around the world. It goes on to examine how pioneer mission leaders develop these qualities over time. Interestingly, the overwhelming majority of their traits and competencies show no correlation with ministry longevity or with life maturity. Irrespective of age and experience, a pioneer leader can develop these vital catalytic qualities to a high degree. Also, research shows that effective catalysts continue to grow them over time, whereas other pioneers who did not start a movement not just plateau, but seem to decline. As a whole, this is a call to make personal growth and development a central task in ministry. |
