The Five Critical Steps of Communicating Vision
Step Three
By Bill Howard at BHoward@TheColumbiaPartnership.org Have you wondered how successful pastors get their people to follow? Have you
ever wanted to share a vision, but feared it would get voted down by your
congregation?
Successful vision casting is a skill every leader needs to learn. Read on to
learn step three of the five critical steps of communicating a vision that will
get a YES! from your congregation or ministry organization.
Remember, a minister who has properly communicated vision should go into a
church decision process with a 95 percent certainty of how the vote will turn
out. If there is a strong chance the vote may turn out negatively, that vote
should never be taken. As a leader, you must do your homework. You should know
long before any voting process what the Lord is saying to your church and what
your people will likely do as a result.
Here's how the process works.
Step One: State Clearly to Your People How You Received the Vision
Step Two: Cast the Vision to the Loving 3 (from 3 to 6 people)
Step Three: Go to the Respected 12 (The Loving 3 are included in this
group) [Click HERE to read more.]
