Editor's Notes
“ We should make our plans – looking for direction and counsel
Make Money – Plan has to work to be a viable plan – then we can act upon it – if the plan does not get us to the goal then the plan is not viable go back to the plan “ Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, saying, ‘This fellow began to build and was not able to finish’” “ Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Will he not first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace”
S pecific: in terms of actions to be accomplished M easurable: in number of activities or results desired A ttainable: given the resources at hand R elated: to the objective T ime: there is some date attached for completion of the goal Goals are generally written An example might be: To train ( infinitive ) 25 people ( measurable statement ) in supply chain best practice ( subject ) through partners ( by/through statement ) by November 10, 2008 ( date ). 1. Number of new customers in a year 2. Increased attendance at seminars 3. Increased customer engagement 4. Number involved in product engagement process 5. Number of new projects begun or number of people involved in using products 6. Number of persons participating in volunteer activity 7. Increased giving and strengthened customer relations 8. Additional goals that are unique to the companies context
Mission, vision, values, goals, objectives, and strategic planning are just some of the leadership buzzwords of the late 20 th Century. Virtually all professional executives have attempted to understand what all the buzzwords mean and make them a reality. Few have succeeded and most continue to search for what bridges the gap between leadership theory and leadership reality. That bridge may well be the new buzzword for the 21 st Century. It is “ Strategic Leadership ” .

THOUGHTS ON PLANNING - The wisdom of the ages teaches us to plan. Make plans. “ A wise man thinks ahead; a fool doesn’t, and he even brags about it!” “ It is good to see plans develop.” “ We should make plans--counting on God to direct us.” “ A prudent man foresees the difficulties ahead and prepares for them; the simple goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.” II. Make plans for joy and purpose. “ Hope deferred makes the heart sick; but when dreams come true at last, there is life and joy.” “ Where there is no vision, the people perish” III. Make plans after knowing the facts. “ What a shame--yes, how stupid!--to decide before knowing the facts.” “ The intelligent man is always open to new ideas. In fact, he looks for them.” “ Any enterprise is built by wise planning, becomes strong through common sense, and profits wonderfully by keeping abreast of the facts.” “ Watch your business interests closely. Know the state of your business.” IV. Make plans after seeking counsel. “ With good counsellors, there is safety.” “ Plans go wrong with too few counsellors; many counsellors bring success.” “ Don’t go ahead with your plans without the advice of others.” “ There is safety in many counsellors.”

Thinking about the future – a place for dialogue
Leaders are experiencing depletion in resources but are expected to accomplish great things. This expectation is nothing new. Moses walked the walk, talked the talk, but was still lost and inundated with the daily minutia of leadership. It ’ s not until the professional executive comes to the conclusion that he cannot accomplish more simply by doing more, but by thinking strategically. At this point Strategic Leadership becomes a viable solution for both the public and private organization. The implantation process has numerous steps, during which the participants learn about the 80/20 Rule, S.W.O.T. (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats), and the P.O.L.I.C.E. Leadership Methodology in which the process is well Planned; is Organized; the Liability in the decision making process has been assessed; there has been accurate dissemination of Information; Control/accountability measures are in place; and Ethics, “ Are we doing what is right? ” has been set as the standard for all strategies. Strategic Leadership is not a panacea for all the woes of leadership but a useful tool. Strategic Leadership is a daily process, not a long-range plan, and requires constant vigilance. Strategic Leadership offers the professional executive the opportunity to successfully accomplish his goals with the resources available and without over-investing his time and energies. Strategic Leadership may very well be the new leadership model for the 21 st Century.

Core Values We value creativity; therefore we do not think that the best way to do church has been invented yet and we will encourage experimentation and flexibility within the limits of biblical principles. We value relationships; therefore we will constantly keep focus on persons and will work to enhance the building of solid relationship within the church family and establishing connection points in the community to share the message of God’s love to the people. We value integrity; therefore we will seek to be above reproach in all our dealings as the people of God inside and outside the church. We value service; therefore we will use the resources at our disposal to provide compassionate service to those in need. We value involvement; therefore we will encourage and provide opportunity for all members to be involved in the church’s ministry based on giftedness, interest, and availability and in the community as an expression of our Christian citizenship. We value growth; therefore we will resource opportunities for all members to grow in faith, knowledge and character.
