Roxburgh Missional Network

Local church leaders know we are all in the midst of transformations profoundly affecting the nature of church life and its leadership.  They need two things:

1. New skills and competencies to lead their people in the midst of these changes,
2. To know how and where to start.

This 360 provides the pastor/leader with a process identifying those capacities and the right places to start in their church.

What is the the Pastor/Leader 360?

• A tool, not a program, that gets a leader started in discovering the skills and capacities required for leading in transformation.
• Based on the RMN Missional Change Model (see Roxburgh & Romanuk, The Missional Leader)
• Designed to initiate listening conversations about your skills, capacities and pass-on-able habits around missional innovation as a leader.
• Not a standard survey or evaluation tool based in best practices but an introduction to doing adaptive change.
• A  ‘photograph’ of you as a leader at one moment in time based on the composite input of 15 -25 people of your selection.
• Personal and confidential assessment of the areas where you will need to develop skills and capacities at this point in time.
• The 360 invites a series of people you will identify (for example: Staff, Board, Members of X years, Non-Members, Peers etc) to respond to a series of questions around a set of skills and capacities in adaptive leadership.  These multiple responses are collated into a comprehensive Report personally designed for you.

Who does the 360?

Because this is a 360 instrument we want a significant number of people (15 -25) to take it on you.  Here is a list of the category groups we encourage you to identify:

• Board of congregation (as many as possible)
• Staff of congregation
• Members of congregation
• A superior where applicable (This may be a district superintendent or area minister or other designated denominational leadership.  You may not have any such person, if so, that is fine.
• Peers – other pastors who have some knowledge of you as a leader.
• Other – any others you want to include in the 360.
