Leadership Pipeline co::Lab coming to Atlanta in March 2017!

In 2013, Mac Lake and Will Mancini of Auxano joined forces to develop a Leadership Pipeline Development process for churches. This process focuses on building a culture of leadership development and emphasizes four essential components of an intentional leadership development strategy.

    • Structure – How is your church structured? Just as our spinal structure can dramatically impact our mobility, our church structure can impact the development of new leaders. Most churches structure for function rather than for development. An intentional leadership development strategy focuses on both function and development as it builds their structure.
    • System – How do potential leaders move to new levels of leadership? It’s essential you have a defined system or map for moving leaders from one level to the next. The absence of such a system makes the leadership development pathway confusing and inconsistent.
    • Content – What skills are essential for every level of the leadership pipeline? New skills are required as leaders move to new levels of leadership. Too often we simply throw them into leadership responsibility without proper preparation. An intentional Leadership Pipeline Development plan will define exactly what competencies are required for various levels of leadership, and how to get them there.
    • People – Who is responsible for equipping new leaders? If that responsibility falls solely on the shoulders of one person, you will never build a culture of leadership development. The focus must be on raising an abundant harvest of reproducing leaders in your church. That’s when you will begin to fill your leadership pipeline.

Since 2013, we have worked with nearly 100 churches over six-month iterations to build their own unique Leadership Pipeline.

During the six-month timeframe, churches benefit from…

    • 20 principles for creating a culture of Leadership Pipeline Development
    • Tools and techniques for developing leaders
    • A template to guide them in building their own systems
    • Development of a learning path for every level of their pipeline
    • An action planning guide for use between sessions

Join us in Atlanta beginning in March 2017 to create your own Leadership Pipeline. Imagine never having to use the excuse “we don’t have enough leaders” or “we have all the wrong leaders” again. Imagine never having to look outside of your best volunteers for the next hire.

comment_post_ID); ?> Thank you Ed for sharing your insights into the Church Growth Movement. I have my reservations with Church Growth models because it has done more damage than good in the Body of Christ. Over the years, western churches are more focused on results, formulas and processes with little or no emphasis on membership and church discipline. Pastors and vocational leaders are burnt out because they're overworked. I do believe that the Church Growth model is a catalyst to two destructive groups: The New Apostolic Reformation and the Emerging Church. Both groups overlap and have a very loose definition. They're both focus on contemporary worship, expansion of church brand (franchising), and mobilizing volunteering members as 'leaders' to grow their ministry. Little focus on biblical study, apologetics and genuine missional work with no agenda besides preaching of the gospel.

I am one of the leaders in Emmanuel united church of Ethiopia (A denomination with more-than 780 local churches through out the country). I am preparing a presentation on succession planning for local church leaders. It will help me for preparation If you send me more resources and recommend me books to read on the topic. I hope we may collaborate in advancing leadership capacity of our church. God Bless You and Your Ministry.
