To Create Clear Positive Structures
When leaders create clear positive structures, people can see how things operate, they know what is expected of them and how they can contribute. They feel valued and affirmed in their involvement and will have the confidence to entertain change.
When a group is negotiating times of change and growth, they need a balance between risk and stability. If they have clearly stated directions and guidelines, along with trustable systems that are easily understood, then they will be more inclined to step out towards new realities.
Healthy churches need to be managed well, just as they need to be lead well. Developing new directions must be underpinned by effective day-to-day management.
Good positive systems make empowering others so much easier. They are also likely to result in higher levels of ministry satisfaction for leaders and lower levels of emotional exhaustion and burnout.
