In this episode of the Healthy Church Staff podcast, host Todd Rhoades discusses the issue of talent hoarding within church staffs. This phenomenon occurs when leaders hold on too tightly to talented team members, often out of fear or comfort, potentially stifling growth and causing burnout among staff. Todd explores why this dysfunction happens, its consequences, and provides strategies for fostering a healthy church culture that encourages empowering and releasing leaders.• Talent hoarding involves retaining gifted team members too tightly, motivated by fear, comfort, or control.• Constantly overloading gifted individuals can lead to burnout or push them away.• Failing to give newer staff development opportunities can stunt their growth.• Holding onto talent can harm church culture, reduce trust, and restrict leadership development.• Implementing a culture that celebrates staff growth and departure is essential.• Building a leadership pipeline prevents reliance on a few individuals.• Leaders should focus on launching, not owning, team members' talents.
