164: How to Bring a Concern to Your Leader - A 4 Step Process
Manage episode 299634609 series 2412309
What do you do if a leader you follow or serve under says or does something that you don’t agree with? How can you bring a concern to a leader without damaging the relationship or causing unnecessary conflict?
Lately I’ve seen and heard a lot of talk about problems that are happening in the church, and there may be issues in your specific setting, whether it’s false teaching or abuse or just questions about a particular approach to ministry.
But sometimes when I hear these conversations about bringing these issues to the leadership of a church, the recommended approach is quite problematic.
And then, on the other hand, I know of situations and stories where a member of a church or an organization DOES attempt to bring a concern to a leader, and they are met with less than helpful responses. The leader might become angry, defensive or perhaps they hear the concerns but then behave passive aggressively towards that person.
Because I’m passionate about how we communicate with one another, and because I can relate to both situations: having a concern to bring to a leader AND being on the receiving end of concerns, I want to share some thoughts on how we can get to a place of having a healthier and more productive process for this.
In this solo episode, I’m going to share with you a 4-step process you can use to bring a concern to a leader. And in my next solo episode, I’ll talk about receiving feedback and concerns from others.
