Are You Listening? By Dr. Henry Cloud

People: A Leverage Point for Change By James Lewis CCNL

The Performance Management Link By Chad Carter
According to the Best Christian Workplaces Institute, many “certified best” Christian workplaces use performance management processes to help direct performance. This then elevates the level of ministry effectiveness and encourages practices that build healthy workplaces. These healthy workplaces are yet another indicator that there is a direct link between flourishing cultures and effective performance management…
