“Congregations in the emerging digital culture are hungry for leaders who are approachable, touchable, accessible, transparent, and real. They want to connect with someone who is unscripted, unrehearsed, and not ‘on’.
“An impartational leader teaches not by exhortation but by example. In a way this harks back to an oral apprenticeship model: the student or follower absorbs character and identity from a vital relationship over time. Interaction and connection place a new premium on understanding and building vital relationships. Without leaders who value, practice, and model relational leadership, these growing desires will become distorted. In a deeper way, this model reflects family relationships between parents and children.”
