|
| | SHOULD I SHARE MY CONCERNS WITH THE COMMITTEE? | | by Scott Robley
|
|
| | The committee at my church seems not to be listening to the concerns congregants are raising. They either minimize them, or do not to respond to them. I believe the committee is moving too quickly with proposals, and congregants have not understood them and in the end will likely be unwilling to accept them. As an officer of the church, should I share my concerns and, if so, how?
Signed,
Quiet Committee Member

| | | | Let me begin by supporting what I believe you are saying about the purpose of committees, which is to share meaning and make good decisions. Committees err when they make decisions with insufficient meaning.
We live in a fast-paced, results-oriented world. Often in our effort to keep up and get things done, we miss crucial information. What’s great about Crucial Conversations is it isn’t about communication for communication’s sake. It’s about results. Whether in our professional, personal, or ecclesiastical lives, we are trying to make good decisions that lead to results, and Crucial Conversations skills can help.
