Why isn't this new? For a long time, our desire has been to have a multiplication culture. We've talked about empowering the team, raising them up, releasing them with authority to changes lives. On a regular basis some of us have used the language "we are a teaching mission". We truly value our team members and believe in their potential. Frankly, we've at times purposefully, strategically and patiently sacrificed short term excellence and expediency in order to generate long term personal and professional development and impact by our team members. We've provided tools and some training to our team members, even if they've had little experience using these tools because we respect everyone's ability to learn and grow into their roles. We've started a learning resource library. We often choose to use the inexperienced because we believe in their God given future potential. We see equality between our national and international team members. We believe in our people and we believe in each person's ability to do great things for the kingdom.
Why is this new? It's time to double-down on our effort. It's one thing to talk about it and believe, but it's another thing to actively implement. We want that this language will more regularly be a part of our dialogue and lead us in every decision. We'll not simply consider how we can develop others, but we will also consider how we ourselves need further development. What will be do differently? We expect we will have an increased volume of strategic learning events. We expect that we will bring in experts (local and international) to help us all learn (Interested in coming to teach us your skill?). We plan to establish an eleve8 learning forum online. Our library will continue to grow with strategic titles. We can claim we teach/develop people, but we want to be more aggressive in doing so. We will push harder to expect and demand the development and the empowerment of our people. There will be suggested books, suggested blogs to follow and articles to read. There will be an increased volume of encouragement to lead and learn.
