Christlikeness<\/a> demands that we put the focus on Him and keep it there. We look to the Lord as our standard, source of strength, motivation, and means of maintaining unity. And, we point others to Him as well. If we are not careful, we can easily lose that focus in staff evaluations.<\/p>\n

The Right Focus in Staff Evaluations is that which is Centered on Christ:<\/h2>\n

1) Measure against the right standard.<\/p>\n

2) Promote the right motivation.<\/p>\n

3) Encourage change by looking to the right source for strength.<\/p>\n

4) Find the right means of unity in the Lord.<\/p>\n

If, as the evaluator, you keep your mind and heart focused on Christ, you will avoid some of the misuses of staff evaluations. If people being evaluated also keep their minds and hearts focused on Christ, they will be more likely to come away from a staff evaluation encouraged and eager to serve.<\/p>\n

The Steering the Church Toward Christ-like Character Leadership Guide<\/strong><\/a> provides some input about each of the above points to help keep the focus on our Lord Jesus.<\/p>\n
