Description:

There's no scoreboard in the sanctuary, and the only plate is probably for the offering. But every church leader needs to know how to win, and every congregation needs to know when to cheer. This insightful book speaks to every church leader who yearns for a simpler, more effective approach to ministry. An engaging parable about one overwhelmed pastor is followed by an overview of seven successful team practices, each one developed and applied in a ministry setting. Reinforced by relevant discussion questions, these clear, easy, and strategic practices can turn any ministry into a winning team.

Practice #4: Teach Less for More: Say only what you need to say to the people who need to hear it
Practice #5: Listen to Outsiders: Focus on who you're trying to reach, not who you're trying to keep

Practice #7: Work On It: Take time to evaluate your work--and to celebrate your wins
