The Wesley Way : Lead Team Expectations)
Jesus is King.
We obey what Jesus commands and we lead by following Him. One way we do this is by reading and obeying scripture. We long to look more like Him. We strive for our actions to reflect and honor Him.
We ain’t your momma.
We are all adults. Staff. Leaders. Students. We treat others with respect. Have a problem with someone? Talk to them. Have a responsibility? Do it.
Fill up before you Pour out.
We should take care of ourselves and each other so we are best equipped to serve those in our care. We minister from what we have been given.
It’s not about us.
Our leadership is not to serve ourselves. Our desire is to serve those in or will be in our care. We will have to do things that we don’t like or we find uncomfortable. We will be asked by other leaders to do things that we don’t want to do. In humility we do these things for the betterment of our students and to grow ourselves.
Everyone has a role. Know it.
You are not a counselor (but we have one on staff). If something is above your pay grade, get help. Our staff is available, and if they can’t help, they will find someone who can.
We all have issues.
None of us have it all together. We will fail. When you do, talk to your team leader and discuss how to move forward to look more like Christ. Don’t be afraid to be seen. We want to truly know each other – not just each other’s majors and hometowns.
Show up.
We expect ourselves and each other to be there and be present. If God has asked you to serve, then our expectation would be that you are here to serve. How can you lead if you aren’t here?
