Leading a Team
How does your role change when you minister as part of a team? And how should you manage other team members?
Watch/Listen on:
The fifth part of an informal discussion about church growth and leadership between three experienced pastors. Listen to the whole conversation.
Some questions for further thought or discussion:
- What are the positive and negative aspects of working as a leader of a team? What are your management skills and weaknesses?
- What do you think it takes to a) lead a team well, and b) be a good team player? (you may want to have a look at Patrick Lencioni’s The Ideal Team Player)
- How do you find having the "direct conversations" that Ray describes?
