Management Skills: Not Just for Pastors, part 1

Pastor, Author, Church Consultant, and more, Bill Easum wrote this and has graciously given me his expressed permission to share it with you here: They didn’t teach me management skills in seminary. I wish they had because as the leader of a church I needed them badly and it’s a shame I had to learn them on my own. So I thought i would pass on some pointers.

Point Number One: If you can’t measure it, it will not succeed. 

I know- someone will say, “How do you measure spiritual growth?” It’s simple, by watching how your leaders lead. How much like Jesus do they lead? Are they more concerned with the least, the last, and the lost than themselves? Do they yearn for the salvation of their networks or do they just come to church?

Spiritual growth is measured by the discipleship of others. I could go on but you get the message.

— Indeed we do. Come on back here for more from him…you’ll be glad you did.
