Leadership Pipeline
Maximize Your TeamLEADERSHIP PIPELINE
IT’S TIME TO GET PEOPLE FROM SITTING TO SERVING.
While Strategic Envisioning will unite your church by bringing clarity and alignment, the practical reality is that your church will only go as far as there is an empowered leadership team to move it forward.
The best plans, strategy, and vision can only exist on paper without the team to accomplish the goals.
If your church has ever struggled to find enough volunteers or felt like your staff is burning the candles at both ends just to keep the church moving forward, it’s time to build a Leadership Pipeline.
Put simply, a custom-built Leadership Pipeline determines how to get the right people in the right positions doing the right things with the right training. It’s about importing a Volunteer Recruitment and Leadership Development system into the DNA of your church, so that healthy leadership is cultivated consistently from ministry to ministry.
The principles which guide TMG’s Leadership Pipeline framework are consistent in each church, but the implications are uniquely expressed in each congregation. Our Pipeline Design consulting addresses both the guiding principles and applying them in your church’s context.
TMG’S Leadership Pipeline consulting is
divided into two phases:
Phase 1: Design
The Design Phase involves a two-day, on-site consultation with your TMG Consultant.
Your consultant will first provide critical training on the principles and framework of building a Leadership Pipeline to your ministry leaders. Secondly, the consultant will also partner with your senior leadership team to apply and contextualize the framework to design a custom Leadership Pipeline for your church.
Day 1: Pipeline Framework Training
A Leadership Pipeline is only effective when all of your key ministry leaders understand the framework and principles that undergird the process. Therefore, the first day of the on-site visit is crafted to train-up your team so that everyone has an equal grasp of critical concepts.
The Malphurs Group training is intentionally designed to stretch your team while working to make complicated concepts easy for your team to understand and apply.
Day 2: Pipeline Design Workshop
Using TMG’s proprietary tools and process, your senior leadership team will apply the Pipeline framework to your unique context.
The key to a sustainable Leadership Pipeline is in balancing sophistication with simplicity. Our process will help your team to design a process that is sure to develop high-capacity leaders at every level without adding more stress to an already over-burdened staff.
By the end of the Workshop, your team will have…
- defined the levels of leadership within your church, including an updated, comprehensive organizational chart
- clarified core competencies
- developed leadership assessment processes
- selected primary training systems
- crafted a timeline for launching and implementation
PHASE TWO: IMPLEMENTATION
Make
The church has the first 30 days to finalize the action plans that were agreed upon in the workshop. We call this the “Make” phase. We want to ensure that the Action Plan is broken down into smaller steps, due dates are assigned, and each step has a clear “owner” and deliverables to ensure accountability.
Coaching Call: Month 1
Move
The second step, called “Move” is focused on execution. These coaching check-ins focus on making sure the church follows-through on its commitments. The goal is to encourage and equip the leadership to be consistent and on-target.
Coaching Calls: Month 2 & 3
Measure
The third step, called “Measure” ensures that the church keeps track of progress. Using the metrics developed in workshop, we will determine if the church is on pace to reach its goals. At this point, the consultant will help the church determine any “watch” areas that seem to be ahead or behind.
Coaching Calls: Month 5, 8, & 12
Modify
The final step, called “Modify” helps the church to make adjustments when necessary. If the church is behind on goals, the consultant will assist the church in diagnose if the problem is with the strategy, the implementation of a strategy, or the leadership of a strategy. The consultant will help the church make any changes that are necessary to keep on track. The Modify step runs concurrently with Measure.
Coaching Calls: Month 5, 8, & 12
