Obey the Vision

One of my Master's degrees focused on local Church leadership, specifically an American model -- the dominant American model -- often called transformational leadership. One could describe it as "Obey the vision." As an example, the Christian leadership theorists Halcomb, Harrison, and Malmstadt (Courageous Leaders) wrote that there should be "total obedience to the God-given vision". It seems to me that US President Biden is schooled in this kind of leadership. It is a hazardous model when applied to Churches, and is no doubt hazardous when applied to nations -- except that nations elect leaders for a fixed term, where this may not be so in the Church.
