Crisis Leadership

Post-COVID Leadership Toward Positive Entropy

June 15, 2020 //  by Paul Miller

Back in January, a few months before COVID hit, our church invested a fair amount of time and energy (and finances) into an online spiritual assessment, designed to help our people take ownership of their Life with Jesus.

Distractions

My desire for accomplishment is only superseded by the intensity of distractions I allow in my life.

Performance Elements

Planning and the ability to convert ideas into actions is fundamental to effective organization performance.

Processes within an organization define how the work is to be done and how people interact within the organization.

Systems are put in place to make processes more efficient. A good rule of thumb is to remember is to not automate a bad process. Applying technology to a process can result in great benefits or misapplied can create distractions.

Efficiently allocating and applying resources to the work at hand is critical for a thriving organization.

People Elements

How things are done, the tone of conversations, the way people are treated, and how the values of an organization are lived out and demonstrated are all aspects of culture.

The conduct of leaders, the importance placed on different aspects of the organization, and how leaders respond in challenging situations are components of leadership.

The structure influences how people interact with each other both inside and outside the organization.

Teams of people collaborating and contributing efficiently results in the best possible outcomes for an organization.

Purpose Elements

The mission embodies the purpose and passion of an organization, its reason to exist.

The vision is an inspiring picture of the mission fulfilled at some point time in the future.

Values are the guide rails of how the people in an organization conduct business, make decisions, and interact with others.

Governance in setting policy, overseeing operations, and insuring accountability of the leadership are aspects of governance.
