One of the things that I am constantly reminded of is how blessed I am to be surrounded by such a great staff team. Without a doubt we have the best collection of staff members we have ever had. There is such a great feeling knowing that you have capable, competent people around you.
When a team comes together there is synergy and cohesiveness. There is a sense that even greater things are on the horizon.
When we meet together on Mondays we go around the room and share in 3 minutes or less what God is doing in our lives and ministry area. I come away from those meetings excited about our future.
Staffing is THE most difficult thing we do. We have learned to not get in a hurry when selecting new staff members because you usually end up regretting it.
We definitely look at the 3 C's when hiring new people. Character, Competency, and Chemistry. Of these 3 Character is first, then Chemistry and then Competency. I used to underestimate the importance of Chemistry (how that person "fits" in the team and with the Foothills culture), but this one is huge.
The big thing is waiting on God's timing when looking for new staff.
