Alignment is essential if you want a healthy church staff. Today we discuss how to improve the alignment of both your staff and your church.
Some highlights from today’s episode include:
- Ministries need to be aligned with the vision and mission of the church.
- The onus of responsibility in communication resides with the leader.
- It is amazing to me how many leaders kick the can on difficult decisions.
- Social time together is one of the best ways a church staff can build alignment.
The five alignment principles we cover are:
- Determine if the problem is alignment or insubordination
- Review communication patterns and relationships
- Spend some social time together
- Learn what motivates and de-motivates the staff member
- Have honest conversations
