Download Minding His Business: 40 Days to Excellence in Church Management AudioBook Free
Generally, when a cathedral needs a lawyer or attorney, it hires a lawyer. When it requires a plumber, it hires a plumber. But when it involves making business decisions, most churches convene well-meaning but often inexperienced volunteers to form a committee, then they have a month and vote on the colour to color a door in the nursery. Conducting business this way eliminates the eyesight and drains the interest out of right-brained, creative, relational pastors and ministry market leaders. The modern cathedral is being badly managed and does not know it. The level of inefficiency and waste products in today's churches is staggering. The cathedral is not really a business, but it conducts business, and generally, the people executing church business aren't trained and/or experienced in business. This publication was written to convey basic business intelligence, management guidelines, and best practices to right-brained, creative, relational people (i.e. pastors). Unlike intimidating business textbooks, it is written in 40 brief vignettes designed to be observed like daily devotionals. Each chapter deals with each day challenges and offers real-life examples produced from more than 30 years of experience that show how to (and sometimes how not to) cope with each situation.
