First Second chair post

Interestingly enough, we’ve yet to have a “second chair” post on the blog. This is interesting in that most of us in the GRACE group fall under that category. Whether you are a second chair or first chair in your current ministry position it may be worth working through this informal and unscientific quiz. posted on Todd Rhode’s blog, Monday Morning Insight.

Take the quiz for youself as a checkup. Take it with your fellow staff members to open up some honest sharing. If you’re a first chair lead your staff to take it together, and you go first in sharing the results (after all, going first is what leadership is all about, isn’t it?).

We all know that one can be lonely in a crowd. And too often, things are even lonelier in a ministry staff setting when our relationship with colleagues is superficial, distant, and lacks honesty and collegiality.
