It's a pairing.

Relational plus relational equals warmth, but generally weak execution, right?

We just all feel good, but we don't always drive to get things done.

You might have a visionary person plus a visionary leader, and you've got all sorts of ideas, but limited follow through.

Or you might have an organizer plus an organizer, and that tends to equal structure with little inspiration.

So, if you've got a leader that's not quite succeeding, look at the pairing that could be an issue.

You don't just pair for chemistry, you pair for complementing gifts.

Not similar gifts, but complementing gifts.

And I see this all the time.

I am a pastor who leads

45 different church locations, and we've got really different personality types and gifts mix of our pastors.

For example, if I have a very organized, planning and strategic pastor,

We wanna pair that pastor with someone that's very warm, very relational, and very caring.

Or we might have some visionary, charismatic person who's really good talking from on the weekend in front of people, but they're weak on follow-through.

So we're gonna pair that pastor with someone who knows how to get things done.

It might not just be the wrong seat, but it might be the right person with the wrong pairing.

So if you know that you have a good leader that's struggling,

First, look at the seat.

Secondly, look at the pairing.

Another scenario is this.
