Attend denominational and interdenominational conferences and conventions regularly and encourage other staff persons and members of the congregation to do likewise. Such appraisal on the part of the minister as well as the church leader group can increase effectiveness as well as improve communications.
Positions are likely to be rewritten when there are changes in staff.
Evaluation can be a positive and growing experience with emphasis on the positive qualities of leadership, the achieving of objectives and the determining of new objectives. Unreached objectives or weaknesses in leadership can be discussed in love and with plans for improvement.
