Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast: Fire Your Inner Boss
Thank you for joining the Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast! Why do people leave their jobs? The number one reason: they don’t like their bosses. People don’t leave companies—they leave bad bosses! Why? That’s because many bosses don’t understand what it takes to be a leader. Power and influence...

Working Lean: When a Small Staff Is Better
At first, it just doesn't make sense – but it's true. A small staff is often better than a large one. Here at Life.Church, we've found that when a team or campus is slightly overstaffed, progress generally slows down. And when that same team or campus is slightly understaffed, we usually take m...

Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast: 3 Questions for Anticipatory Leadership
The difference between a good leader and great leader is that great leaders learn to anticipate rather than react. So how can you determine where things are going? Start by asking: 1. What is happening? This is also known as situational awareness. Assess the current state of your organizat...

Hoping for a Win vs. Creating a Win
There’s a big difference between hoping for a win and creating a win. I want the team to feel positive, like we’re getting somewhere and doing something. To do that, our goals need to be specific, measurable, and defined. We have to know what we’re going to accomplish and when we’re going to do i...

How to Have a Strong Developmental Conversation
At some point in your leadership, you’ll encounter a staff member or volunteer who isn’t cutting it. And if you’re a part of any growing organization, your organization is eventually going to outgrow someone on your team. The hard part, especially for those of us who are spiritual leaders, is that...

Questions to Ask If You're a Creative
If you're on a creative team at your church, you'll likely follow a similar process as we do here at Life.Church. • See a need • Come up with ideas • Execute the solution But, if you find yourself constantly in 'execution' mode, ask these questions to help guide the process: do we have a clearly...

Don't Wait for Perfection
When launching anything new, most people want it to be perfect. But, opening before it is perfect is often better than waiting for perfection. One of my friends opened a yogurt store before he had signs, pictures, or decorations. Instead of a cool clock on the wall, he put up a piece of paper w...
Leadership
Leading in the Right Role
Before you step up to speak, before you have a developmental conversation, and before you cast vision, there’s one thing you have to do first. You need to clearly define the purpose. There are three important things to consider to define your purpose: • What you want people to know. Too oft...

Worth Revisiting: Excellence/Effectiveness
There are several principles that I seem to revisit when talking with pastors. A couple of these are the cost/excellence curve and the cost/effectiveness curve. If I gave you $100,000, could you make your house or apartment excellent? I imagine that with some careful investments in furniture, p...
Leadership
Keeping Things in Perspective
While uneducated or cruel critics can be distracting, try to keep things in perspective. Where I live, Christians are rarely in danger for being Christians. Countless believers have suffered gravely for their faith in Christ. If all we have to do is endure a few people complaining, blogging, or wr...
Small Groups
Solving Small Group Challenges
There are a few common problems every small group ministry faces. At Life.Church, some creative solutions have helped us learn to conquer these obstacles. StaffingOne familiar predicament is how much staff should be devoted specifically to small groups. We always lean on the side of a smaller staff...
