https://youtu.be/i1gB_KI3OjA

All churches have leadership challenges, regardless of size. Small churches are not easier to lead than large churches. Large churches are not easier to grow than small churches. But they are different. When pastors move from one size of church to another, they have to adapt. 

Formalities and structure increase

Leadership approaches shift from one-on-one conversations to group settings

There are fewer family-run churches of 150 people

Micromanagement will kill you

Diplomacy becomes more of a need
