Multisite Next Decade - Leadership Development

Posted on 7/23/2012 by Greg Ligon in the Learnings Blog Multi-Site Blog

During a series of sessions called "content cafes,' Multisite Next Decade churches were given an opportunity to learn about a variety of topics that addressed the challenges and opportunities they face. The fact that leadership development continues to occupy a top position on the greatest challenges for multisite churches was no surprise.  To address that challenge we invited Jeff Conley, Director of Organizational Development for Rent-a-Center to share some of the principles of how that organization develops it's people through a servant leadership based process.  You can hear Jeff's comments here:

Big Ideas:

1.  Behavior Performance Review - Created similarly to the 9 Box Leadership and Potential Grid.  Focusing on three “What” competencies, three “How” competencies, three “What” metrics and three “How” metrics.

2.  Servant Leadership Index - 10 questions that your direct reports answer about your servant leadership.

3.  Enterprise Leadership Model -  Built on the framework of eight "What" competencies and eight "How" competencies to help the executive team focus on succession.
