CATALYST ONE

We took our whole 25-member team to the Catalyst One Day Conference at Willow Creek Community Church today. The guest speakers were Andy Stanley and Craig Groeschel. Here is a download of some of their comments:

Leaders shape organizational culture whether they intend to or not.

Healthy cultures attract and keep healthy people. Unhealthy people love and thrive in unhealthy environments.

Unhealthy cultures are slow to adapt to change.

Healthy cultures don't happen by accident. They are created.

What we value determines what we do.

Healthy and productive staff cultures are characterized by mutual submission.

The message of mutual submission is: I'm here to facilitate your success regardless of where either of us shows up on an organizational chart.

What gets rewarded gets repeated.

Every physical environment communicates something.

Design, decor and attention to detail communicate whether or not you are expecting guests.

Periodically, we all need fresh eyes on our ministry environments.

Helpful content in communicating directly addresses thinking and living.

And be blessed.
