4. I like to get things done on time, and work hard to stay on task and on schedule.

5. I find myself being asked to pray with people who are hurting.

6. The day-to-day work of ministry seems somewhat mundane compared to thinking and talking about our future plans.

10. I often ask a person if I can pray with or for him or her.

11. Persons usually look to me to organize tasks.

12. I always make sure I point out to others the great impact our mission has upon others in need—and I like seeing their faces light up.

13. I try to take extra time to really ask how the persons in my ministry/church are doing, and I listen to their answers.

14. There’s a time and a place for chit-chat and sharing, and a time and place to get work done.

25. I often make lists of what needs to be done, in order to keep others and myself on track.

26. Having a mission or vision statement is really important.

27. I sometimes struggle with delegating tasks to others, as I want to make sure it gets done right.

28. One of my struggles is not to be too critical of what my church/ministry is doing, because I can clearly see how much better we could become and what we could be doing.

29. Many persons don’t understand how important it is to provide persons with the “ministry of presence” when they are going through conflict, pain, or challenge.

30. If someone isn’t doing their job well, what they probably need is help in getting more organized.

31. When I explain to others the overall direction we need to go, I prefer they themselves figure out the specifics of how to make it happen.

32. I don’t like to waste a group’s time with a lot of casual conversation, when they actually showed up to work/serve.
