I love my Youth Workers at SMBC! I have especially enjoyed seeing our UofL college students engaged as leaders in the youth ministry. They were just students one to two years ago. How is it that you build a winning team? Stan Toyler gives us 6 ways to do this in the Preaching journal for Jan/Feb 2010.
DELEGATE RESPONSIBILITY - Provide direction...set expectations...allow for creativity...check on the results...reward performance...
AFFIRM OTHERS - You can empower by your applause.
PROVIDE SUPPORT - Offer training and resources. Ask "What do you need?"
MOTIVATE TEAMMATES - Motivate by reminding them of the eternal value of their leadership.
EVALUATE RESULTS - Ask...Did we reach our goal? What could we have done better? What did we do great?
REWARD PERFORMANCE - Celebrate the victories!
Remember that Great Teams don't just happen. They are shaped by a great leader. Pour your energy into others, and they'll pour their energy into the mission!
