I once heard the late Southern Baptist evangelist Vance Havner make this statement and I have repeated it many times since.

Speaking of a committee in a Baptist church he said they are often “The unfit, appointed by the unwilling, to do the unnecessary”. I wholeheartedly agree!

Send away Kevin – the whole purpose of this blog is to discuss important leadership issues and to learn from each other.

I want to be sure that we are discussing relevant material to our ministries. After spending six months on politics – which I am still doing a little of – I wanted to blog about something edifying that would somehow impact ministry at the local church level.

My boss at my day job has the best meetings I have ever attended. We run on an agenda, we have ground rules for conduct, we recap the meeting for effectiveness at the end, and we keep an open “to do” list for the meeting in order to follow up on tasks assigned during the meeting.

It’s brilliant.

Tad,

All his books are good. I especially liked “Five Dysfunctions of a Team.”
