When a hire goes right everyone wins. The new hire is empowered and unleashed to lead in their sweet spot, the team is invigorated, and the church benefits from seeing the mission take ground. But when a hire goes wrong everyone loses, and I mean everyone. A hire gone wrong will cost you more than you think. Check out the list below…
Spiritual Leaders know where God wants them to go, and they have the ability to persuade other people to go with them. If God has given you a picture of where He wants you to lead, then chances are it’s bigger than what you can handle alone. It’s going to involve other people, it’s going to involve building teams. At some point it’s going to involve recruiting and hiring Staff Members. When a hire goes right it fosters synergy, movement, and momentum. But when a hire goes wrong there are setbacks, losses, and ultimately the mission suffers. Below are the 2 most common mistakes made by churches, which lead them to making the wrong hires.

Organizations spend all kinds of resources to attract and keep young talented leaders at the table. But surprisingly the best way to do this may be free. Give them what they want, a voice into real leadership decisions.
One of the best ways to accomplish this is the art of collaboration. And while collaboration may not be your natural leadership style, learning to ask the right kind of questions can build a collaborative environment where ideas thrive and young leaders grow.
If you don’t know where to begin, then for the next month start asking these two simple questions. The results may amaze you.
