Leadership 101: Tell 'Why'...often

I so appreciate people who bring their experience and wisdom gained from the marketplace to help the church achieve mission and to empower me for effectiveness. On Sunday at the end of services, I was giving instructions about CareFest that is next Sunday. I was giving the 'what'.

Afterwards, Jim encouraged me share the 'why' of CareFest? Why are 8 different churches worshiping together and then serving in the community? People will engage better with the vision if they are told the ‘why’ up front. Perhaps they will do the ‘what’ a time or two. But for long-term commitment and impact, the ‘why’ has to be included. Good words.
