It's even doubly dangerous, I would suspect, for bivocational pastors -- those who hold a full-time job and pastor a church on the side. It's tough enough being a bivocational youth pastor.
Interesting that Drucker mentions university presidents as having a similarly tough job. As one who has worked with four univeresity leaders ("chancellors," in my case) over 16 years, I would agree. They face similar challenges as pastors, although it's much more complex and politicized in a public university setting -- and unfortunately, without the spiritual support many pastors receive from their flock (even if it isn't enough).
