In Episode 388 of the NewChurches Q&A Podcast, Daniel and Todd discuss the 7S framework and how to start a leadership pipeline.
“I’m wondering about a leadership pipeline. Our church is about 3 years old. We are growing. Things are going very well, but we’ve never implemented a leadership pipeline before. You tell me all the time to get a leadership pipeline, but I’ve never done it. Now I’m listening and we are going to start a leadership pipeline in our church, but we don’t really know how. So what does it look like when you’ve never done it before? What does that first meeting look like and how do we move forward after that?”
In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
- The first steps to take in developing a leadership pipeline
- How the 7S framework can help you
