Volunteers Need Success Often

I was recently reminded of a simple approach to keeping your volunteers and your staff happy: create success quickly.
Volunteers and staff have a short memory. Volunteers are busy managing work, family, and life in general. Staff are busy dealing with phone calls, people in need, and holiday planning. Both are busy and quickly forget when the last success occurred.
If you want to keep volunteers and staff happy with your team, create small projects that require both faith and simple service. Your staff will see progress, as will your volunteers. This will keep everyone happy and make your job of leading easier.

This is so true. There’s nothing quite as motivating than to see something happening as a result of God’s power and our obedience to His call.
