S4 EP21 featuring Adam Bell: How to Support Your Leadership Team

About this episode

Jim Riley and Adam Bell discuss how leaders can better support their teams and the importance of investing in staff as individuals.

Welcome to the L3 Podcast! We hope this podcast will be helpful to both you and your ministry. Today, guest host Jim Riley sits down with Adam Bell to flip the script on staff dynamics and discuss a crucial topic: How leaders can best support their teams. While there is plenty of training on how to serve your leader, how well are you serving the people who report to you? Jim and Adam unpack what it means to want more for your team than you want from them, emphasizing that leaders must invest in their staff as people, not just as producers. They discuss the vital role of humility in leadership, the danger of holding onto staff members too tightly, and the importance of adapting your leadership style to fit different personalities and generations. If you want to help your team members become the best versions of themselves, this conversation is for you. For more information on the Michigan Ministry Network, please go to our website at mmn.ag.
