#7 Give Fair Considertion to all Parties
Fair Consideration Given to all Parties
When working within an organizational structure there are many departments and all of them clamor for special attention. Not in a bad way, but you are expected to carry the banner, so to speak, for your department. Therefore it is necessary to bring all leaders together to mesh the calendar and agendas.
However, it is not possible for there to be committee meetings at the right times to make decisions relative to every decision that the presbyters have to make on a day to day basis.
On several occasions I would get a call from Brother Tenney, or someone else he would designate, explaining to me the situation, changes they were contemplating and getting my opinion as to how those decisions would affect my department.
At times people would make an end-run around the director and take suggestions to the top. They always instructed them to talk with all department leaders that a decision would affect. I never knew of a decision that affected the Sunday school department that I did not feel that I had been given consideration.
One day Brother Tenney told me that a lady had complained about something that had happened during one of our kid’s camp services. He asked me to look in so he could call her back. He said that one person’s opinion was important and that if one called there were probably more people that may feel the same way.
