A friend was kind enough to message me and indicate they were going to do a staff retreat and what were some questions they need to ask or consider in their evaluation and plans going forward.
Here are a few:
1. Were my priorities for the ministry demonstrated in what we did?
2. Did we do anything new or in a different way that is definitely a keeper?
3. What should go on our "Never do again" list?
4. What was not worth the time, energy, or money that went into it?
5. Who are some people we need to thank for one thing they did or for their help throughout the year? Remember, I am a BIG proponent of handwritten thank you notes!
6. What was our weakness that definitely showed itself this year?
7. How do we need to upgrade our summer contacts with incoming freshmen?
8. If you are able to participate in Summer Orientations, is there anyway that needs to be done better or differently?
9. If there is more than one staffer, do the areas we each work on need to be adjusted or coordinated in a different way?
10. Were MY individual strengths/gifts used to the best advantage for the ministry?
11. What is one thing I/we need to read and or what is something we need to ask our student leaders to read?
