How do you get great results out of an ever-changing workforce? Think about it – whether you go to a McDonald’s in California or Ohio, you get the same product, often produced by entry-level workers that have little or no prior experience. The secret? Good systems!
Churches experience similar workforce situations: a near-constant turnover of volunteers with little or no prior experience in what they’re volunteering for.
Here’s food for thought on your systems:
Good People + Good Systems = excellence
Good People + Bad Systems = frustration
Bad People + Bad Systems = devolution
Bad People + Good Systems = solid results
So no matter the quality of volunteer you have, systems will make all the difference in what ministry actually takes place.
Here are more ideas on church systems by a thought-leader on the subject, Tony Morgan.
