4 Questions Successful Leaders Ask Themselves When I was leading classes on non-profits at a prominent west coast business school, I would regularly lead students through a SWOT analysis of one or two non-profit organizations.

5 Questions to Inspire Creative Team Collaboration Have you ever sat in a worship service planning meeting and felt like you were sitting in the middle of a war zone? The ideas people are at odds with the operations people. The creatives feel like the executors are an obstacle, and the executors feel like the creatives are unrealistic and irresponsible.

For others, the senior pastor is a tenured leader with younger staff members. If you want to make changes in your church, then you must bridge the generational age gap on your church staff. Use these six steps as a starting point to help build your team.
