| Summary: | This article accentuates the need for leadership metaphors that align with an organization’s ethos and suggests the liturgical director as a viable metaphor for leadership in Pentecostal worship and spirituality. Borrowing its meaning from the world of film and theatre, the director metaphor denotes a person who tells actors how to play their parts, hence emphasizing the reciprocal relationship between the director (ecclesial leader), actors (congregants), and script (Scripture). Approaching leadership from this perspective provides a starting point for discussions on collaborate sensemaking and co-constructed leadership in Pentecostal congregations and allows for analyses of influence in Pentecostal leadership beyond the taxonomies of behavioral leadership studies. |
