How to Handle Bad Ideas

Just like water flows downhill, leaders can count on people bringing ideas to them.

Some ideas might bring health and growth.

Unfortunately, most of the ideas people give you fall into one or more categories:

would not work well

would move the church in a direction it should not go, or

would require a lot of energy and resources that would not accomplish kingdom results

So, how do you handle bad ideas?

Today’s video shares a concept I developed in my first ministry that has paid multiple dividends over the years. It hasn’t benefited me monetarily, but it has bestowed better relationships, less emotional angst, and a more peaceful life…for the people bringing the ideas and for me.

Dr. Rich Halcombe

If you are a leader or someone who wants to become a leader, my life mission is to help you achieve kingdom results, personally & organizationally.

God has blessed me to learn, formally and informally, from some incredible leaders, and to use that experience to grow organizations by helping leaders grow. I am currently the Founder of LeaderINCREASE and Executive Director of Strategic Church Network a network of 139 churches.
