A Year In The Life Of Staff Development – Part Three

A Four-Part Series From Phil Taylor At Backstage Pastors

March 15, 2018

Smaller Group Level

Directors Meetings

Department Leaders meet twice a month to get on the same page and hear from each other on needs and issues we need to be thinking through. Renaut and I lead these meetings and it is a space where we restate the mission and vision, again and again, to keep everyone moving in the right direction.

Department Meetings

Each department does their own development based on the unique nature of their teams and focus. I visit these meetings a couple times each year to be an encouragement, answer questions, and to do targeted development based on what each team needs. I also take each department out to lunch once a year to connect with that team in a more casual setting.

Emerging Leaders Cohort

Every other month, I gather with our youngest and least experienced staff members to do general ministry development with them for a couple of hours. They often show up with a list of questions, and I have some things prepared to train them in. This is a time when I just lean on 20+ years of experience to help them move forward in their own development. For them, they get time with an executive leader instead of going through their department director. For me, it gives me a chance to learn how to lead millennials before they actually become my direct reports in the next few years. They don’t know it, but I’m doing research when I meet with them!

Conferences

Teams are encouraged to find and attend conferences that would be of unique developmental benefit to them. The church covers these costs for them within reason. No more than one a year in most situations. My role here is to simply tell them that it’s something they can and should do.
