This is a rare opportunity to spend a morning and a meal with other ministry CEOs, Senior Pastors, Principals, and Board / Council Chairs from around Australia, and engage with a respected spiritual leader and author Peter Greer who has written on these topics.
Plan now to join us at The Hotel Windsor in Melbourne on July 26.
You may also wish to stay for the afternoon session – ‘Lead with Prayer‘ – based on over one hundred hours interviewing world-changing leaders from six continents, asking a powerful question: What prayer practices are fuelling your impact? The CEO / Chair morning & lunch and the ‘Lead with Prayer’ afternoon are two separate events, with separate pricing, but CEO / Chair delegates can register for both events on the one registration form.
The importance of the relationship between the church or ministry team leader, and the chair of the board / council, can’t be overstated. A spiritual and intentional relationship between these key players can iron out a lot of the typical organisational wrinkles and allow the organisation to flourish, but when this relationship fails, the consequences can be potentially disastrous – both personally for the individuals, and for the effectiveness of the organisation.
And to add a little further complexity, the people holding the roles always move on!
Sometimes succession is done in a prayerful, organised transition that strengthens the ministry, honours God and respects departing leaders, but sometimes it results in a mess that leaves numerous people wounded, reputations destroyed, and hampers the work of God’s church.
In this three-hour session, exclusively limited to Board /Council Chairs and CEOs / Principals / Senior Ministers, Peter Greer will draw on his personal experience, a lifetime of conversations, and his work as published in two highly-regarded books “The Board and the CEO”, and “Succession” as he leads the audience through the morning. Attendees will not only explore some of the practical ideas and processes involved, but will more deeply look at the spiritual postures, attitudes and context without which even the best of policies and procedures will be fall short of what honours God.
