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.

本文强调了与组织精神相一致的领导隐喻的必要性，并建议将礼仪主管作为五旬节崇拜和灵性领导力的可行隐喻。借用电影和戏剧界的含义，导演隐喻指一个人告诉演员如何扮演他们的角色，因此强调导演（教会领袖）、演员（会众）和剧本（圣经）之间的相互关系。从这个角度探讨领导力为在五旬节教会中讨论协作意义构建和共同构建领导力提供了一个起点，并允许在行为领导力研究分类法之外分析五旬节派领导力的影响。
