Church and Clergy Coach
Accomplishing More with Less
By Eddie Hammett at EHammett@TheColumbiaPartnership.org. In tough economic times, not to mention tough leadership times, effective
leaders are essential to keeping the church, judicatory, or denomination moving
forward. I have been exploring, and experimenting for some time with the role of
a Coach in Residence. What I'm discovering is that the coach approach
often allows tasks to be accomplished or projects to be moved forward through
the short-term, focused services of a Christian leadership coach working with an
on-site leadership team.
I'm currently working, as part of my ministry through The Columbia
Partnership, as a Church and Clergy Coach for Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of
NC. We are discovering more can be accomplished with less full-time staff,
revenue, time and energy. Permit me to share a framework we are currently
working with for the next year. [Click HERE to read more.]
