Questions

  • How is your leadership organized? Is it one big team over everything, or teams within a team?
  • How big is your church/organization? Do you need more leaders and teams?
  • Do the policies or organizational chart you have in place hinder you from putting together the best team for a task?
  • Is there any kind of specialized team your church/organization needs? How will you go about creating it?
  • What sorts of decisions does your team make? What decisions do other teams within your team make?

Social media

  • In large churches/organizations, one big leadership team at the top doesn’t work. There needs to be a chain of command.

  • Jesus had a leadership team of 12, but he didn’t limit himself—he organized & sent out various teams, groups of 2 to 70.
  • As an organization gets bigger, you gotta have teams that make certain decisions and have authority over certain matters.
