Leadership
Session 2
8:35 AM
This morning started off kicking and going. They brought the noise this morning with Nancy and John Ortberg and an interview with Carey Nieuwhof and David Kinnaman. David and Carey took some time and unpacked what it looks like from a culture standpoint looking into the church and the partnering with the family approach. Here are a few statistics they shared with us.
- 28% of parents put an actual priority on other Adult relationships with their children outside the home
- 63% said it was important to them and they have done something to accomplish it in the last 12 months
- Only 45% of parents said they thought the church was clear on their expectations of parents when it comes to how partnership with them looks and feels.
Conclusion on that is that parents do not really understand what do or why we do it. That responsibility falls on us as leaders to clarify what that looks like and filter vision through it.
Nancy did a great job as well they really did a good job unpacking team building and reaching for what God has for you not being satisfied with where you are. Here are a few key points from her talk.
Nancy Ortberg
Nancy did a great job leading us to process through that relationships are the most crucial part of our leadership and how our team will function. She really challenged us to walk in everyday and filter through what the health of your team was and how you could constantly be improving it. She gave us 3 categories to help team building.
Give opportunities
- Do the people around you have opportunities succeed in the areas that they are gifted? If you as the leader are the the best it can get then everyone around you will want to go home.
Give Challenges
- Conflict inside relationships is the best process for spiritual transformation. Don’t be afraid to challenge the people around you. There is a right way to say things and to communicate them effectively, but when we avoid conflict we are in essence avoiding transformation. Challenge pushes leader where they didn’t know they could GO!!
Relationships
- You owe the people on your team relationships. You do not have to be best friends with everyone on your team but their needs to be a point of relational affection. People rarely care how much you know if they don’t know how much you care.
It was a great talk and there is a lot more to come. Looking forward to the next session.
