Passion – Problems, People, Positions, or Processes

Just been listening to a great podcast by Andy Stanley on “High Performance Teams”  and spent some time thinking about how that applies to me and the team I lead in the west congregation of our church. (Funny the things I’ll do to take a break over lunchtime!).

Here’s my thought for the day. It comes from these reflections  combined with the emphasis I feel from God this year to “prioritize people not just programmes or process”.

Passion is produced by problems which need solving and people who need helping. Therefore, in an effective organization, positions and processes only exist to solve problems and serve people.

I guess it’s the year of the ‘P’s.

  1. Dan, I can’t find this podcast – will you send me the link? Or put it up here or whatever…

    thanks

    PS Looks like we’re umm…living this, huh? :o )

    • Hey Jen,
      Added link above, but it’s the “Andy Stanley Leadership Podcast”. You can access all their podcasts at http://northpoint.org/podcasts
      Preferable (to me) than using itunes is to click the ‘other’ link and you’ll go to a list of messages for individual download.
