If I were to come alongside of your church, (and I’m certainly happy to do that through my coaching ministry), I would help your staff or leadership think through each of these in a brainstorming session. 3 questions church leaders need to ask regularly: What is working well and needs more energies/resources given?

Wasting time and energy may be one of my biggest pet peeves as a leader. I firmly believe if we get rid of common energy wasters we can dramatically improve our performance as leaders.

Wasting time and energy may be one of my biggest pet peeves as a leader. Does it ever feel like you are wasting valuable time and energy? It can be frustrating to feel your most valuable commodity – time – has been wasted or you invested good energy on the wrong things. Plus, bad structure is an energy-drainer.

Along these same lines, if someone presents you with a problem, begin brainstorming solutions and notice how the conversation flows. If someone else suggests the problem, ask them a generative question to flip the focus—for example, “This project is never going to work with the way it’s designed.” Makes room for everyone?

Well, nearly everyone agrees trust is a critically important factor in leadership success. But how about a personal leadership mission statement?

It's good leadership to overcome reluctance to say "I don't know," and instead to engage people in discussion about the situation, letting them know when they'll know. For example, for job-seekers, embarking on a fitness regiment can add energy, lift spirits, and potentially make the person more attractive to a potential employer.
