Comment on excuse culture by Leader Syndrome

Leader Syndrome — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 15:09:48 +0000

Well, what I have learned from one of my mentors is: either you are on the “excuse” team or on the “result” team… Since then I have reused that frequently with my managers and their teams, always reminding threm the “excuse vs result” position. Make sure to buid a “result” culture and not an “excuse” culture; obviously this does not mean discarding excuses but more supporting your teams in making sure they can remove any hurdle to focus on the result… (this often goes back to the discussion of setting and managing one own’s priorities – or getting the necessary support to do it efficiently)

Great observation – I absolutely agree – Pride can, and far too often does, restrict development in others. It is something I have had to deal with in the past. Thankfully I recognised it in time – and am blessed to see how others are developing now

I think I know what you mean by ‘drains the reflective soul’, there was so much in the day, I got so much out of it and can’t wait for YWS12. But I really want to watch each of the talks again and give myself plenty of time to reflect on each of them and fully process and apply what they were saying.

Like Roy, I also left paid FT youth ministry a few years ago. I would add the following positives of being a volunteer from my last few year’s experience:

- it’s easier to keep the main thing the main thing
- the Church appreciates your input more
- young people KNOW you are there because you want to be
- it’s easier to maintain a healthier work/life/ministry balance
- you can avoid meetings that have nothing to do with youth work
- people have less expectations on you (so you please them more when you exceed them)
