10 Lessons on Leadership

Our Ministry Pastor here at First Baptist, Todd Parr, challenged us with these leadership practices yesterday I wanted to share them with you. It's good stuff.

1. You can't fake enthusiasm
2. Insane talent is not enough, you must have a calling, character, and competency
3. Failure can be tolerated...lack of judgement cannot.
4. Don't try to please everybody
5. The ideation process is critical
6. Concentrate on psychographics not demographics
7. Retain great staff members and volunteers
8. Criticism should always be followed with a solution
9. Managing and maintaining momentum is everyone's job
10. We must be focused

This morning our church voted in our new Worship Pastor Kevin Price. Kevin is coming from Istrouma Baptist Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We are absolutely thrilled to have him here and are so excited about the future. He will be moving here in early June to get started. Thanks for all the prayers through the process, exciting days are ahead.
