Yet we can and should remind and re-emphasize in new ways. Here are three ways to re-declare the vision and values the Lord has given the team or church that you serve.
1. Involve Other Voices
Use new voices to declare the vision, the direction the Lord has given. By doing so, the people see that vision is not merely owned by one leader but by a team of leaders. If one person, the same person, is the only person declaring what is important, the impression can be given that only one person stewards what is most important. Empower team leaders to share the vision with the departments they lead. Consider sharing the mic with another leader or team-teach on what is most important in your culture.
2. Tell New Stories
Find stories from among the people you serve that illustrate and emphasize what is important in the culture you lead. For example, if you cast a vision of impacting a local school, then tell new stories about the needs of the school that you have placed before the people, share new stories of how people have embraced and are loving on the students and teachers, and tell new stories of how people are being impacted. Weave new stories into your regular communication platforms to remind the people of the Why behind all the activity.
3. Celebrate
Plato said, “What is celebrated is cultivated.” Celebrate what the Lord is doing, even if it feels small, because the celebration will help root what is most important more deeply into the culture you are stewarding.
