Building a Great Leadership Team

Senior pastors often face challenges when selecting their senior leadership team, as they may feel that the leaders around them lack the necessary capacity for strategic initiatives. Tensions arise from a lack of urgency in meetings, leading to a focus on the wrong issues or ineffective decision-making processes.
