Powering Your Ward Through Priorities, People, and Relationships

Chris Trendler is a BYU graduate, former Elder Quorum President, former missionary in Argentina and a executive consultant at ghSmart, a leadership consulting firm. We have a fascinating discussion about the latest book produced by ehSmart titled, Power Score: Your Formula for Leadership Success. This book is meant for a business leadership audience, but it contains many interesting principles that are applicable to LDS leadership. Some of the questions you will hear discussed on the interview are: How can a bishopric or ward council highlight the strengths of members? How can a ward council set priorities that lead to success? How can leadership effectively manage talent in a ward without choosing the same 10 people? How can a leader assess the talents and skills of members in their ward? How can the bishop easily maintain focus in meetings by focusing on priorities? Interview Links: The Very Root of Christian Doctrine, Thomas B.
