Youth Ministry Strategy Old Way 1) Mission of Church 2) Youth Ministry will be incredible because it: a) Reaches more and more kids b) Has leaders with cool hair and shades c) Music that destroys brain cells d) Games that demolish the church facility 3) Blah blah blah 4) And, by the way, there are some other ministries besides youth ministries, so be sure and calendar your events..
Old Way Job Descrip)on: 1) Mission of the Church 2) Your role in that Mission: Youth Ministry 3) You ll create incredible Youth Ministry blah blah blah according to these goals: - - More kids, more intensity, more fun, more pizzazz, etc. 4) And, by the way, you re part of a team but you report to the XP and (s)he directs you.

Another Way to Lead/Manage Go on a retreat with your Lead : ask Where is God wan)ng us to go? In this model, each team member is: a) A Disciple of Jesus, and contribu)ng as such. b) Has a deep regard for the primary mission of the church. c) Represents his/her ministry (represented by the different colors). In that order!!
Another Way to Lead/Manage "The best way to predict your future is to create it." - - Peter Drucker
The Demeanor of the Principle Leader 1) Relaxed 2) Great Listener 3) Surfacing ideas 4) Keeps spiritual focus 5) Non- compe))ve 6) Draw out conflicts 7) Emphasize Phil. 2:5-11
The Demeanor of the Principle Leader Philippians 2:5-11 5 Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, 7 but emp)ed himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, 8 he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Individual Coaching Sessions Management is about human beings. Its task is to make people capable of joint performance, to make their strengths effec3ve and their weaknesses irrelevant. - Peter Drucker
Individual Coaching Sessions Make their strengths effec3ve and their weaknesses irrelevant. I don t care much about tasks. They are necessary and some accoun)ng for them must be made. I care about this: What are the 1 3 areas of greatest impact you are having, or have the poten3al to have? How will they advance our mission? What can we do to render your weaknesses irrelevant?
Individual Coaching Sessions Make their strengths effec3ve and their weaknesses irrelevant. My reflec3on on the teammate s ability to play well on a team. (On compe33on). What would make me a beker coach for him/her?
Summary MOTIVATION: Is a factor of ownership and belonging and the teammate realizing his/her cri)cal role to meet overall team goals. MANAGEMENT: Is about crea)ng goals and expecta)ons as a team, and then managing both the team and individual team members toward those goals, having their maximum impact in a few key areas.
