What’s your question about communications?

When someone asks "who should manage this – communications or the ministry leader", there's usually more to the story. This week on the podcast, I want to give you six questions I ask to get below the surface.

If you don't go deeper when this question is asked, you won't be able to equip your ministry team with the right tools to solve the real problem.

Where does this issue show up?

• Social Media
• Graphic Design (last minute project, but not always)
• Video projects

What are the real issues behind this question?

• Comm not delivering (take health assessment at healthychurchcreatives.com)
• Missing deadlines - systems
• Not producing quality work - skills
• Ministry leader has a different vision - heart or control
• Ministry wants more than the org is willing or able to allocate - Internal resources can’t support the ministry request
• Ministry wants to minister to the people of their ministry

Questions you can ask to discover the real problem

• What problem are you trying to solve by managing this?
• Is there a better way to accomplish your goal?
• Have you developed a strategy around this?
• How do you plan to sustain this long term?
• What is the downside of Comm managing this?
• What is the downside of Ministry managing this?
