Everything really does rise and fall on leadership!  Every Senior leader, leadership team, and Pastor are faced with the challenge on what questions should I ask myself and others when choosing leaders.  See if you identify with any of them!  But just as important are those questions rising leaders need to have answers for from their senior leadership!  If you don’t give them answers either someone else will or they will determine the answers on their own.  No open questions doesn’t mean that questions don’t exist but most likely they have been answered in one of those categories!  These questions may seem basic but they can weave the intricate details of a ministry and can determine very fruitful leaderships and those barely staying afloat.

What every pastor needs to know from their leaders.

1. Do we share the same values?

2.  Do you carry a heart for this ministry, team, and vision?

3.  Can I trust you with people?

4.  Do you enforce boundaries in your life?

5.  Can I speak into your life both corporately and privately?

6.  Do you add or delete momentum and energy?

What every leader needs to know from their Pastor.

1.  What are your values?

2.  What are your expectations of me?

3.  Can I trust you?

4.  Are you committed to us?

5.  What role do you see that I fit?

6. What are the lines of communication and are they open?
