Fundamentals of the Director Role
3 Principles for Effective Ministry Leadership
As a director, you stand in one of the most critical leadership spaces in the church — between vision and execution. This resource captures three key principles from our conversation on how to thrive, not just survive, in the Director role.
01 | Stay at the Right Leadership Altitude
Remember, you lead leaders. Your greatest impact isn’t through the tasks you complete, but through the leaders you empower. There is a natural gravitation pull that goes toward the task. Let’s learn how to stay at the right leadership altitude to effectively move our ministry area toward growth.
NEXT STEPS:
Create margin for one leadership development conversation each week.
Delegate tasks that others can own — freeing you to lead at the right level.
02 | Build a Healthy Ministry Structure
Structure fuels sustainability and scalability. We want to build layers of leadership that allow our ministry to operate with clarity, confidence, and alignment. A healthy ministry structure and system produce the best opportunity for growth.
NEXT STEPS:
Clarify roles and expectations for every level of your team.
