Leading in a church setting isn’t all fun and games. Being a church leader can be more stressful than any corporate job. You’re swamped from all angles: Financial, mental, and spiritually. Church leaders must have tactics to fight back. With over 15 years of experience in being a part of church leadership, I’ve come to know a thing or two of what it’s like.

As a talent development professional, I’ve been privileged to lead, observe and participate in many types of learning and training events. I’m often invited by vendors to sit in on their training in the hopes I’ll make a purchase. I can say first hand there are some amazing learning events out there. Unfortunately, for every great one, there’s several mediocre ones.

In this world where so many of us are connected 24/7 through technology, there are still many employees who—believe it or not—are hard to reach. I’m talking about people who have limited face-to-face visibility with senior leaders, or even with their supervisors. Hard-to-reach employees may be working in remote offices, constantly on the move away from their home base, or on a production floor without phone or email access.

Catching up with an old friend this past weekend, talking about the New Year and how 2017 is shaping up, he launched into a rant about 2016.

And on and on and on.

This post came to me after hanging out with one of my favorite people I’ve ever worked with. I hated when we parted ways professionally. Let’s be honest, pastors. When you have great staff people, the team is set and everything is going well, it’s hard when someone leaves. Even when they are leaving for a better opportunity – it often stinks.

We have a tendency to focus on special causes even when poor results are due to common causes within the system. To improve results that are due to the system trying to determine the specific problem with any bad result and fix that problem is an inefficient strategy.

Given the avalanche of email we receive each year — 121 messages per day, on average — it’s no wonder that we have become somewhat desensitized to its impact on our professional brand. We’ll spend hours polishing our LinkedIn profiles and revising our résumés, but hastily hit send on an unintelligible missive simply because we’re in a rush. “Sent from my device, please overlook typos” is not a get-out-of-jail-free card for shoddy communications

Most teams in business work to create a defined output. But just because we’ve finished making a thing doesn’t mean that thing is going to create economic value for us.

Several years ago I sat down with the CEO of a fast-growing retail business. The company started as a single store, but about a decade later it was a national chain on the heels of filing an IPO. I asked the CEO, whom I’ll call Mike, about the secret of his company’s rapid growth. His answer blew me away. “Say no!” He told me he regularly said no — to more staff, to bigger marketing budgets, to additional equipment.
