Scalability Creates Responsiveness

Submitted by James Higginbotham on February 28, 2006 – 11:21 pmNo Comment

Tony Morgan has a post regarding responsiveness when it comes to your church or ministry receiving phone or email inquiries. Tony was inspired by a post by Michael Hyatt, President and CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers, who discusses how individual success is related to your response in every kind of situation. Both of these posts are so critical for churches and ministries, and is often a telling sign of your inward or outward focus. As we’ve discussed in the past regarding recruiting volunteers, you must be others focused. From the time they first contact you, to the time they decide to say goodbye, your ministry must be willing to drop what it is doing and focus on others. This also requires time management, which we discussed not long ago. So, if you haven’t begun to make your ministry scalable by freeing yourself and your leaders, just take a moment and imagine what would happen if you lost every volunteer around you in your ministry. If you are a church leader, imagine what it would be like to lose those around you that matter most. Then, give all you can to those that matter most and to those that are the future of your ministry or church, as God intends.
