Ask yourself these questions from the GLT

These questions have been approved by the Global Leadership Team (GLT) as a means of helping YWAM leaders and leadership teams to understand what outcomes (or results) they should be aiming for. No individual leader could satisfy the entire range of outcomes, but the GLT's objective is to develop teams that can aim for these standards. This is not a list of laws or requirements but the questions should be used to lead us into greater effectiveness. Each leadership quality listed is in alignment with YWAM's foundational values and is consistent with the vision and goals into which YWAM has been led. Please use these questions prayerfully and lovingly in your part of the family of ministries. Use the questions to give you an idea of which aspects of leadership you are doing well at and which need attention.
