There are three things every leader who resigns or retires needs to be aware of. It is true in the for profit, nonprofit, political and ministry world. I have experienced all three and watched it play out in politics, business and ministry every day. It is well to be aware of these issues because they are not going to feel fair, and often are not but they are reality in a world that needs...

Pastoral and leadership transitions are a precarious thing
Pastoral transitions are a precarious thing especially at the end of a career when pastors often don't want to let go and boards or congregations wish they would. And, nobody wants to talk about the elephant in the room so the issue simmers under the surface often causing conflict in subtle ways.

leave when they want you to stay rather than when they want you to leave

So let me just say: It is not cool to take public shots at the organization we have been serving on the way out whether it is justified in our minds or not.
