Burning Question:

How can the attrition rate of leaders be minimized?

• Cast the vision, and keep it fresh in front of them through the care of coaches and staff.

• Be clear on what you are asking of them. Give clear time frames and specify the commitments needed from them.

• Find enough coaches to shepherd the leaders. If you want them to remain involved and motivated, leaders need to know someone cares and that there is value in what they are doing for the kingdom.

• Celebrate every success, and help them always to keep the Harvest in mind.

• Love them in 101 ways. This may sound obvious, but it models what you want them to do and retains those you want to retain.
