Managing Your Ministry the Peter Drucker Way
Harvard Business School highlighted some great management principles from Peter Drucker. These principles can be applied to your ministry to boost your effectiveness.
- There is surely nothing quite as useless as doing with great efficiency what should not be done at all.
- What we need is (1)Â a way to identify the areas of effectiveness, and (2) a method for concentrating on them.
- One question should be asked… “If we were not in this already, would we now go into it?” And if the answer is “no,” the next question should be: “How do we get out and how fast?”
No church is perfect, and many are wasting time on doing things they do not need to be doing. Remember your church only has so many resources, and you need to figure out which areas generate the greatest results for the resources you invest into them. If you evaluate your church and trim away unnecessary parts while improving upon inefficient parts, you will find that your ministry is capable of accomplishing far more than previously thought.
