6. Invest your time in others. The time you spend in others is never wasted. You cannot develop leaders without investing your time in them. Discipleship is taking someone who is Christ like in an area and let their Christ-likeness rub off on others.

7. Believe in them. Give them a chance to do ministry. Let them learn by doing. But Jim, they’re not as good as me, there was a day you were not as good as you but you learned by doing, now it’s time to return the favor.

8 Encourage others. Everyone I know could use a little encouragement. They not only respond well to it but they flourish. Here’s a great habit to develop, catch people doing things right! In fact have your key staff write three thank you notes each week this practice will change your ministry.

9. Be a coach. Coaches motivate, they teach, make corrections, they maintain team spirit, and they point their team to the next level both corporately and individually. Even the greatest athletes in the world have a coach.

10. Ask for commitment. The greater the commitment the sweeter the victory. Every time I’ve asked volunteers for a greater commitment those who rallied and said yes were the best volunteers I ever had. Rotating workers might be a quick fix but it doesn’t produce long time volunteers.
