Transform
Your Church Committees Into High-Performance Teams in Just 21 Days
Special for The
Creator Leadership Network
|
If you're like most pastors and church leaders, you carry a huge work
load. You spend
hours preparing your sermons, counseling, planning, and managing the
staff. You know there are things you would really like to do with your
church, but you just don't have the time or energy to make those things
happen.
Well, what if I told you it's possible to make those dreams a
reality? And what if I also told you the tool you need to make it
happen is sitting right under your nose? You're even well aware of this
tool. You know it's there, but you've probably avoided it - and for
some very good reasons.
In fact, when I tell you what this tool is, you're probably going
to smirk and say, "Yeah, right." That's because this tool is the
committee. (If you're smirking right now, please keep reading, as
you're about to discover how committees can help your dreams for the
church come alive.)
Committees have a terrible reputation - and deservedly so. All too
often, our projects get "stuck in committee." Committees are notorious
for wasting time, creating conflict, playing politics, and fulfilling
agendas. It's no wonder pastors would rather do the work themselves
than send the work to a committee.
But you can turn all of that around and get awesome results from your
church committees.
Your church committees can:
- Have
productive, energized meetings
- Have a chair
person that understands leadership
- Have a chair
person that molds and guides the process
- Have enough
people to get the job done, but nottoo many to make decisions
- Have specific
goals and action plans
- Get most of
the work done between meetings
- Minimize
conflict with clear goals, responsibilities, and accountabilities.
Sound impossible? Not only is it possible, you can get started right
now.
One weakness of committees is the ever-revolving door of the chair
person. In many committees, this position changes every year. And new
chairs often start without the necessary experience to lead a
committee, a project, or even a meeting. But you can turn this weakness
into a strength with one simple change.
All you have to do is use the change in leadership as an
opportunity. When the new committee year begins and new leadership is
on board, hold a training session for your leadership. But whatever you
do, don't call it a training session. Some new leaders might think they
don't need a "training session." So use a word that's more attractive.
Call it a "New Leader Strategy Session." After all, you'll be defining
strategy anyway. And your chair person will feel empowered and ready to
lead effectively.
In this strategy session, define the goals for your committee.
These should be consistent with the church's goals and long-term
strategies. So come prepared. Then work out the processes needed to
reach those goals.
Once you've defined the goals and worked out the processes, choose
the right people to do the work. This is key. In your strategy session,
identify the skills needed to accomplish the goals. If the people on
the committee don't have these skills, then find people who do and ask
them to serve. When people know they're needed - and you have clear
responsibilities for them - they will be eager to serve and quick to
follow through on their assignments.
You can't simply throw people on a committee and expect them to
produce awesome results. It just doesn't happen. Successful committees
require skilled leadership. Fortunately, you can develop the skills
needed to run highly effective committees.
And now you can learn these skills in just 21 days. Thanks to a new
program developed specifically for church pastors, you can supercharge
your committees. In "Transform Your Church
Committees Into

the right participants

- How to create

committees.

you'll see a whole new world of opportunity open up to you and your
church. Not only will those dreams you have for your church become a
