Thoughts on Strategic Leadership
Does your church change ministry directions too often or has your church ministry become stagnant? This session will talk about how the church body, through prayer,
study and surrendering to His will can determine the long term strategic direction of your church. You do this by establishing a clear Purpose or Mission that encompasses a Vision of where and what your church is being called to do by God and how to incrementally accomplish your church mission by creating S.M.A.R.T. goals or objectives (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely). John Byrd retired from the NC National Guard retiring at the rank of Brigadier General after 36 years of service. He spent 33 years in state government culminating as the NC State Crime Laboratory Director and retired Special Agent with the NC State Bureau of Investigation. John specializes in teaching Christian based leadership principles, team building and management practices with an extensive background in Lean Six Sigma.
