In my mind, it is one of a few top priorities for any church leader: 1. Leading with prayer and God's guidance 2. Effective leadership 3. Effective strategic planning 4. Attracting staff that love excellence If you plan for nothing, anything will happen to you. ;) Andrew, last year I wrote a hurried post on the importance I see in strategic planning within the church.
