In this episode of the Healthy Church Staff Podcast, host Todd Rhoades addresses the issue of outdated 'legacy roles' within church staff organizations. These are roles that were once useful but no longer contribute effectively to the church's current mission. Todd discusses how to identify these roles and provides steps for refreshing or removing them to better align with future needs.• Legacy roles refer to outdated staff positions created to meet past needs but are now ineffective.• Such roles can cause misalignment, confusion, and gaps in execution.• It's crucial to assess job descriptions and roles that haven't been reviewed in over five years.• Open conversations and audits of current staff structures can help identify where changes are needed.• Design roles based on future needs rather than past traditions.• Consider repurposing existing staff skills to new roles rather than eliminating positions.• The overall goal is to build a staff team that reflects current mission objectives.
