Develop The Leaders Within

Great post by John Moore at Brand Autopsy today on Starbucks philosophy of developing their employees. Read "The Starbucks "Employee First" Philosophy".

Here is an excerpt:

We believe in hiring exceptional people who are willing to work for excellent results. In exchange, we are committed to the development of our good people by identifying, cultivating, training, rewarding and promoting those individuals who are committed to moving our company forward.

Begs the question of what kind of culture would be developed if churches spent more time developing their staff and front-line leaders? How much more commitment would these leaders have as well as loyalty?

One of the highest levels of leadership starts with developing people.
