EMPLOYEES & Are you helping them climb the career ladder or find their “career compass?” #1MinuteVideo #ForesightLeadership

by Bob Whitesel DMin, PhD., 2/2/24.

What happens when there’s someone we see that has a lot of potential, but they don’t necessarily want to be manager or climb the career ladder? How can you best help them navigate their next steps? Watch this one-minute strategy video to learn how to help them find their “career compass.”

LEADERSHIP FORESIGHT & 1-min. video on focusing on the future over staff/boards’ focus on the present/past

There’s a lot of talk about vision.  But vision must be based upon first studying where a culture and community are headed.

That’s right … studying what’s ahead is called:

  • future thinking,
  • futuring
  • or leadership foresight.

In this short 1-minute video, I explain how staff/boards’ focus on the present/past can stop the vision and what to do instead.

Would you be willing to subscribe to my new video channel www.ChurchLeadership.video? I would appreciate it, as a favor to help promote innovative church resources.

NEED-MEETING & A video intro to a “4-stage Need-based Outreach Strategy”

Commentary by Prof. B: I’ve created this video to not only introduce colleagues and clients to the efficacy of a “4-Stage Outreach Strategy,” but also to give my online students a sense of an introduction I would give in a live classroom. The viewer will find a concise intro to why most outreach efforts fail … because they are not holistically incorporating all “4-stages” of an outreach strategy. Plus, my LEAD-600 students will find this a helpful introduction to their classroom assignments on need-based outreach.
