Josh GriffinMore PostsA Healthy Staff CultureFinishing up a workshop at Drive today on healthy staff culture. It can be summed up with 4 things:
the right people = everything
the right focus = focus
the right way = fun
the right reason = vision
Good stuff … the discussion centered on taking time hiring people and being certain of their fit and skill so that you can play and go through the challenges of ministry life together.
Unrelated note: the workshops have 20 minutes of content, and 20 minutes of Q&A, and then the conclusion.

that’s so nice! why thank you … same to you. JG
I must be tired… I read this as Staph Culture…
I guess in either case, a healthy culture leads to rampant growth. It can also be infectuous to everyone around.
Sounds like there’s a lot of “ideating” going on at DRIVE this week.
do you think saddleback as a whole has a healthy staff culture?
Hey Josh! first time post…but have been reading the blog for a while. overall what have you thought about the Drive conference?
@Joel
