Moses leaned upon his staff...

Effective leaders do manage. What they manage is vision, values, and relationships.

Clear Vision & Clear Communication are the "Holy Grail" of Team Ministry

Hire for heartbeat. Character, Competence, Convictions.

Hire for character, intelligence, flexible, excitement about learning, team players, comfortable being reviewed (Fred Smith)

"Those closest to the leader will determine the success level of that leader" (Maxwell)

Maximize your strengths and put your energy there. Don't spend all your time trying to address your weaknesses. Likewise, focus on the potential leader's strengths and encourage them!

Remember the 80/20 rule! For yourself, for your leadership team, and for their focus

"I always wanted to be somebody. I just should have been more specific" (Lily Tomlin)

V-H-S (Vision, Huddle, Skill)

The best recruiters for your ministry are your best volunteers.

The reward a volunteer gets for their service comes from knowing that their contribution made a difference

Know thy style, Share thy style, Be open to change thy style.

Staff & Leadership Unity often sets the tone (for good or bad!) to the rest of the body. Confidence, Confidentiality, and Collegiality are all interwoven here.
