In a staff meeting at Light and Life, Pastor Larry Walkemeyer suggested we need to be able to answer the following questions as leaders of ministry teams.
Evaluate
Who are the people who need mentoring on my team?
Who are the people who need opportunities to step up in leadership?
Who are the people on my team who are ready to be commissioned as a leader?
Nurture
How can I make my team members feel valuable?
Am I listening to them?
Am I encouraging them?
Am I reaching out to them with phone calls, cards, notes, etc?
Am I providing good feedback?
Refine
What can I do to improve as the leader?
Where is our team strong?
Where does our team need to improve?
What can be done better?
Are there new systems, resources, ideas, etc, that can be implemented?
Sharpen
Am I living as an example of Christ?
Am I holding my team accountable?
Am I held accountable by the people on my team?
Are we as a team growing in Christ? Together? Individually?
Out of these questions, I thought of a BIG question:
Do we Know and can we Articulate the Purpose of our Team in terms of the Kingdom of God and giving Glory to Jesus Christ?
