Thought Leadership
- We will embrace the conflict we know does exist and will learn to work through it to find peace.
- We will work through the storming stage of organizational development and
into the norming stage where all staff accept the norms of our new culture:
- We acknowledge that we do have choices and that our choices have consequences — positive and negative.
- We trust others to speak into our lives to help us understand these
choices and their consequences.
- We will move from rules that lead to compliance to grace-based accountability that leads to personal transformation.
- We willingly and eagerly look out for the eternal interests of fellow
staff members, clients and guests by:
- Helping each person understand his/her identity in Christ
- Helping each person to grow in Christ-likeness
- Becoming personally accountable and holding each other accountable for #1 & #2
- Being willing to evaluate the choices we make and encouraging others to do the same.
