This post will identify a set of criteria which to use to evaluate the effectiveness of a sports coach, a teacher, and a senior pastor referred to henceforth as leaders. Each of the items will be listed in order of highest priority to least. Next, the item will be justified along with how each item difference from each leader. Lastly, how each of these criteria can be measure will be looked at. This post is written from my personal perception of the job of these individuals and the roles that he/she plays in shaping the mind and character of those who are placed in their care.
Leading by Example The first criteria that I would use to measure the effectiveness of a leader are “Leading by Example.” Leading by example or modeling is the best way in my opinion to teach and for students to learn. I have two girls which played softball for several years and I help coach the teams. The hardest job as a coach was to teach proper technique whether it was hitting or catching. It was not until I realized that by demonstrating to them the proper technique it became easier for them to pick-up on the technique. This idea also holds true for teachers. A teacher can instruct his/her students on how to ask the in-depth question of a book/text that they are reading, yet it would be by demonstrating the way that it is done which would aid more of the students will understanding the way in which to pick a text apart and learn from it. Teachers do not like short general answers. However, most teachers never take them time to teach the proper technique to answer a question in an in-depth and thoughtful way For a pastor, in general, this is a great method to teach those who are learning under him/her how to live in the world without being of the world. However, it is possible more important for the senior pastor, for he/she is raising up younger pastors under him/her care who needs an example to look up to and to shape their lives after. It is not by teaching young pastor under the senior pastor how to live as much as it is by showing them through his/her daily action. Through allowing young pastors to see and understand how to live in the world they, in turn, can lead a congregation …show more content…
Do they encouraging their charges to do better or do they just criticizes what they have done wrong? I know that I have had very few individuals who took the time it requires to show what I had done right and showed me how to build on it. Knowing the impact and the growth that this has had on me, it is nice to see the California Teachers Association: Institute for Teaching (CTAIFT) encouraging the use of this technique not only for their students but also for aiding their teachers to be better.
While the San Diego Region IV Think Tank in its final draft of Strength Not Weakness for 2013-2014 focuses its attention on Principals relationship with his/her teachers. (see link to site at the end), there is now a movement by teachers to use this technique to aid their students and to better their schools. Some of the greatest coaches have used this technique for years with their players to get the full potency and have shared the mindset with
