Recently read an article about churches learning from businesses. Here a few things written and worth thinking about if you are a leader in any organization.
Think through your core values. What is really important to you. What are the basics of the basics for you. List them out. Memorize them and flesh them out.
What is your mission or purpose? What are you seeking to accomplish? Think this through and write it out in a very brief sentence that you can memorize and use as a measuring stick for progress on purpose.
Set Goals. Weekly. Monthly. Quarterly. Yearly. On and On and On.
Operate with accountability and integrity. Purposefully set up systems that flesh out your core values, your mission and set goals that are measurable. Be accountable to the group and individuals and be open to others seeing the inner workings of the organization.
Finances. Businesses that do well and are respected manage their finances with great detail and seek to keep cost and expenses within income or receipts given.
Be organized and have written policies for your church and specific ministries. This allows for more flexibility and creativity that helps the whole organization.
Fun Stuff.
