| www.churchleaders.com/pastors/pastor-articles/281103-10-rewards-encouraging-leader-brian-houston.html(Thanks to Travis Johnson for showing me this)Let's look for opportunities to help those we can help.Be encouraging.Be a door opener.Look around, the most successful church leaders in the COG train the young ones - and then kick them out of the nest as soon as possible( and start the process all over again) - or let them lead their own campus - or push them into opportunities to be youth directors, etc...It seems like it would erode your talent - but it has the opposite effect of getting go-getters wanting to work for you - because THEY KNOW you will push them forward.It works in churches, businesses, everywhere.. |
