LEADERSHIP LAYERS
We lead more effectively when we know what is expected of us. Clarity on the roles in each Leadership Layer helps individual lead confidently. What are you empowered to do? What are you entrusted with? Who do you report to with successes and challenges, obstacles and opportunities? The descriptions below help leaders stay in their lane and thrive in their leadership.
3 leadership layers exist at Red church across ALL Departments. Below are the layers and their descriptions.
LEADERSHIP EXPECTATIONS
INSPECT WHAT YOU EXPECT
When you give a task be sure to follow up with clear feedback. We are robbing team members of growing by not celebrating the wins and explaining what they could improve. There should be a good mix of both. Without follow up there is no opportunity for growth. Confrontation is healthy and a necessary part of leadership.
LEADERS WORK WITH MARGIN
Rosters, confirmation and team calendar updates are to be done in advance so that team members can plan their schedule accordingly. No need to rush and pull something together when we could
plan a month out and enjoy the process. Rosters should be done a minimum of two weeks before-hand. Planning Center question marks are opportunities to Pastor during the week, not the weekend.
LEADERS OVER-COMMUNICATE
Leaders understand that we speak the culture not just think it. We check, double-check, and triple-check for important details and confirmations to ensure we as a team are prepared for our
responsibilities. We teach others how to speak and think the culture. With rosters we prepare
weeks in advance but then reconfirm the week of to be sure.
BE A PEACEMAKER
You are not a pot stirrer. You are a peacemaker. A listener. A truth speaker in love. A criticism killer.A gossip squelcher. A defender of those in leadership. Leaders always understand there are two sides. Before you react to a conversation, consider both side to the story and remember we are all on the same team.
ASK BEFORE YOU CORRECT
No matter how much of the story you know, as a leader, always ask what happened before you
correct. Listen to hear, do not listen to respond. Then respond with respect, speak the truth in love and make it clear what your expectations are for moving forward.
A PROBLEM IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR A SOLUTION
Leaders are not intimidated, frustrated or overwhelmed by unexpected problems. Instead, they put all their energy and focus toward finding a solution. Getting a “no” is not the end of the story. We keep seeking, thinking, collaborating and hustling until we make it happen. Sometimes the best solutions emerge just minutes before the deadline, so we don't give up and we let our joy be our strength.
EMBRACE EXCELLENCE NOT EXCUSES
Leaders do not make excuses but instead are committed to teach the culture.
Taking the time to RSVP and communicating lateness. We don't crumble and lower our standard; we have healthy conversation to explain the why behind the what. The system does not make serving complicated, the system makes serving a success!
