The Competency Trap That's Limiting Your Team

In this episode of the Healthy Church Staff Podcast, Todd Rhoades discusses the common hiring mistake of prioritizing current experience over future growth potential. He emphasizes the importance of hiring candidates who can adapt and grow with the evolving needs of the church rather than just those who meet current qualifications. Todd encourages hiring for learning ability and adaptability to ensure a healthy long-term fit within church staff. • Flawless resumes may not indicate future adaptability. • Churches often hire for immediate needs rather than future potential. • Current ministry contexts and technology evolve rapidly, requiring adaptable staff. • Growth potential should be prioritized over past experience in hiring. • Hire individuals who show a capacity and willingness to learn and adapt. • Assess job postings for balance between experience requirements and growth potential.Have questions or comments?  Send to [email protected] sure to subscribe to The Healthy Church Staff Podcast wherever you regularly listen to podcasts.- - - - - Is Your Church Hiring?If your church is searching for a new staff member, reach out to Todd for a conversation on how he might be able to help.Are You Looking for a New Ministry Role?If you are open to a new church role in the next few months, add your free resume and profile at ChemistryStaffing.com.
