Four Often Neglected Practices of Most Leaders
About this Episode
Today Thom and Sam welcome Joel Wayne, lead pastor for Chapel Pointe in Hudsonville, Michigan, and author of Steer: Eight Practices to Drive Leadership. In this episode, Joel discusses four neglected practices of leaders trying to shape culture. Key learning is to address splinters before they become infectious.
Four Often Neglected Practices of Most Leaders
* Shaping (Shifting) Culture
* Maintaining Motivation
* Establishing Default Settings
* Pulling Splinters
Other highlights:
In order to shape a culture, you have to know what you are shaping towards.
Every culture grows toward what feeds it.
We often begin meetings by critiquing things that are going bad. In order to change culture begin meetings by celebrating what is going well.
Remind your staff on a regular basis what God is doing in your midst.
Continual small nuggets of positive encouragement prevent you from having to come up with one big celebration.
Don’t wait to address problems that are blistering underneath the skin.
Splinters are potential infections. If you don’t address the splinter it will become a bigger problem later.
