Managing for Effective Ministry 360° Survey

Duration: 1 day

Managing for Effective Ministry covers 33 management and leadership practices that distinguish effective managers from ineffective ones. Participants learn the concepts and skills needed to fulfill six key managerial roles: visionary, orienteer, investor, information manager, influencer, and leader. You will look at these competencies individually and prioritize them for your environment.

The design of Managing for Effective Ministry is based on the premise that, to be effective in a dynamic environment, leaders must understand how they contribute to organizational success and must be able to assess the value of their own contributions on an ongoing basis.

This unit makes use of a 360° Feedback Survey which enables participants to see how their effectiveness is currently perceived by themselves and others.
