Getting Staff & Volunteers to Cooperate

What a terrible waste of time when someone refuses to do their job the way they're asked to do it!


But what about creativity? What about self-expression? What about empowerment? What about..what about...hey, I know! What about doing it the way the boss asks you to do it! Ewww! Does that sound harsh? Yes. Get over it!


Every organization needs order and that means that someone (a/k/a the boss) has to make the decisions. Even as every boat has one captain, every department or church or organization has one decision-maker. If you are that decision maker, let me encourage you to hang on to the authority that's been given to you. God places authority over us...whether we're paid staff or whether we're volunteers. We must submit to that authority. Not only is it company policy, it's God's policy!


Usually it's easier to get paid staff to do their jobs right but it's just as important to get volunteers to do their jobs right, too. And it's often not easy at all to get both entities to work together for the good of the organization.


If you're in a leadership position in a company, a service organization, a church or ministry, and you need a little guidance on how to get your staff and volunteers to do what it is you need them to do, just write to us and we'll be glad to send you a free white paper on how to get them to cooperate! We've cut through the hype of being "politically correct" and gone straight to the "how to" of getting things done. This guide addresses issues you deal with every day and resolves them...step by step.


It's FREE, no strings attached, nothing to buy, nothing to join...just some good advice if you need it! Go to our website: www.powerintheworkplace.com and request a copy. We'll be glad to email it to you with our blessings.
