Pastor A recommended this book, so I borrowed it from him, and it took me a long time to finish reading it. It’s not a book I can easily resonant with, so it took me longer to think through as I read. I took notes as I read, and even with that, I can’t tell you specifics of what I read! But I did find the book helpful as I lead volunteers in the church.<\/p>\n
Here are a few random takeaways for me, though it may or may not reflect what the author intended. These are things I remember without looking at my notes:<\/p>\n
*Organizations should have a moral purpose. *Leaders must keep the organization accountable on its moral purpose, as well as keeping workers\/volunteers accountable to that moral purpose. *Leaders must give opportunities and challenges for workers\/volunteers to grow. *Risk is necessary for growth.\u00a0 *Leaders lead by their example, and that requires restraint. *One\u00a0meaning of\u00a0equity is to give everyone access to opportunity to grow. *Leaders build trust by taking everyone seriously. *Trust is build by doing what you say you would do. That includes keeping the organization accountable to the vision and moral purpose. *Having an environment where people can grow includes being authentic. *Leaders should define a role but also allow room for creative expression of how their job should be done. *Volunteers want to be challenged because they believe in the moral purpose and want to contribute to that purpose. They would not volunteer otherwise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
