Building an Arts Team from the Ground Up #wcawonder
Building an Arts Team from the Ground Up
make sure that constant prayer is part of your arts teams.
1. build trust into your team.
- doesn't just happen. you have to work at it.
- let them know that you will work along with them sometimes.
- delegate to and empower your people
- you have to trust others with your "baby"
2. build respect in your people
- work hard for them – no one respects someone who is lazy
- take risks – people will criticize you at the beginning of risk but will respect you on the other side.
- be honest with each other in love even when it may hurt your relationship.
- risk things that you may fail at.
3. build vision in your people.
- repeat it until they are tired of it
- aim everything you do with your vision
4. Make sure everything points to the great commission
road blocks to building a great team
- negative comments (volume, style, lighting
- don't consider anonymous comments
- don't always give your church what they want. it's our job to know what they want/need more than they do
- don't turn down the music for individuals
- usually the people that have been in the church the longest have the biggest opinions and know the least about contemporary art forms (how often have they seen bands/dramas outside of the church? that determines how much you listen to their advice.
- keep your personality. you can't be great at many things. you will be average if you try to cater to all styles.
