Larry Kreider welcomes Deryl Hurst and Wes Dudley back to the studio to share their personal journey of working together as a senior leader and executive pastor. Deryl and Wes highlight the essential qualities of humility, honoring others, and empowering and releasing leaders while offering practical suggestions for creating a personal plan of development for your team members. Quotable Quotes: “Different personalities on a team are a blessing!” “As we release others, there’s always something more that God has for us.” Highlights: It is vital for the senior leader to cultivate a safe environment where other team members feel empowered and secure to openly communicate their feelings and insights. Maintaining mutual respect and honor, even in the presence of conflict and differing opinions, is important. 2 Corinthians 10:13-17 Releasing your team to walk in their spheres of ministry without micromanaging is key to fostering a healthy relationship and promoting the growth of leaders.
