Church.
22. PLA
What is a Mindset?
• Mindset…
➢…refers to the ideas, beliefs and attitudes
with which a church leader, minister
approaches a situation.
➢….as the attitudes, beliefs, and expectations
you hold that act as the foundation of who
you are, how you lead, and the ways in which
you interact with your team.
23. PLA
➢The MINDSET refers to the world view of an
individual or to the manner in which they
perceive life and the attitude that they have
towards it.
➢Unlike skills, a mindset cannot really be
acquired while sitting in a classroom.
24. PLA
➢ The MINDSET is something that can help you even
if you don’t have the required tool in hand.
➢The mindset is what helps you reach your goal by
working with what you have. Imagine your
SKILLSETS as a tool box. Each skill you’ve acquired
can be used in a particular situation. It is mindset
that help here.

Our mindset is highly
Influential
• Our mindset is so influential. Why? It
determines:
• how you think about and interpret
situations,
• your emotional reactions,
• the decisions you make, and

Mindset

have in their work lives.

The Double your
Attendance Challenge!
• The double-your-attendance-challenge require us as
leaders to desperately acquire new mindsets and
new ways of looking at this gospel work.
• The fall of KODAK, NOKIA, BLOCKBUSTER &
BORDERBOOKS was due to the wrong mindset of
their leaders.
• These companies did not fail due to a lack of
technical know-how.
28. PLA
• Past success and outdated leadership mindsets are
the biggest inhibitors of future success.
• Leadership is not about the how – the skills of
leadership.
• It’s about the need to focus on the development of
their mindset, as they do on the development of
skillsets.
29. PLA
• Church Organisations desperately need new
visions and new maps to navigate the torrents of
this moment.
• Too many church organisations are busy with the
tasks of yesterday.
• We need to stop doing the tasks of the past and
make way for the new initiative as our membership
are also changing.
