Leading Through Crisis?
7 Things To Remember:
Crisis is never a once off never again kind of event.
Crisis takes many different shapes and forms - crisis in relationships, family crisis, crisis of health, global crisis, etc...
- You are doing better than you think you are!
Be kind to yourself
2. You don’t need to have all the answers.
Isaiah 46:6 ‘Only I can tell you the future before it even happens’
“I don’t know” doesn’t mean “I don’t care” - it’s ok not to have answers for everyone’s questions.
Don’t fall into the trap of answering questions nobody is asking....
3. Cast clear, compelling, and unwavering vision.
Proverbs 29:18 MSG
“If people can’t see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; But when they attend to what he reveals, they are most blessed.”
Vision, when it is compelling and when it is clear keeps teams, families, communities, nations moving forward together.
Things have changed but our direction has not, times have changed but our vision has not,we are in the middle of a crisis and our way through it is by staying faithful to our calling...
Is it compelling…..it shouldn’t get old….it should always inspire you!
4. Call people to the culture.
Correct counter culture
- when correcting cultural misalignment be soft on the person but hard on the issue
Eg, the issues, using wrong language from the platform, not keeping the dress code, being chronically late, bringing bad reports and etc...
“We know you are a great person and we know you want to lead well and be an excellent team player, how can we work together to correct this issue.
Celebrate cultural alignment
Celebrate the person and pour to the cultural value that they are championing.
5. The people with you are WITH you! Lead with confidence!
- Hebrews 10:35 ‘So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.’
Lead where there is lean in, don’t lead where there is lean out!
You can only lead to the level of permission.
Don’t get frustrated with those who aren’t coming with you, because your frustration will bleed out of you and into all of the people who ARE with you.
6. Guard your spiritual disciplines.
Spirituality = whole of life, both physical and spiritual.
Keep moving
Eat well
Sleep and rest well
‘Words to live by’ or daily devotional time
Life group
Church services
Keep your ‘People Fuel’ tank full (right people, right times etc...)
Rachel’s story about needing more discipline than ever.
This is true as we carry more
7. Have FUN!
Nehemiah 8:10 ‘for the joy of the Lord is your strength!’
