What is the contribution only you can bring to an organization?

Leadership Straight from Bill Hybels What is the contribution only you can bring to an organization? When Peter Drucker would meet with an executive, he would ask, "What is the unique contribution...," with his thick Austrian accent. "What is the unique contribution that only you can bring to the organization you are called to steward?" Everyone will have a different answer. My three unique contributions... My executive team told me this recently said, "Bill, if you preach 35 times a year, if you lead sections and raise money, if you do those three things, we will do everything else." I agreed, so those are the main things that I need to be doing right now. This is a great question you are asking. Many years ago I led a group of 100 of our best WCA pastors. I asked them, "What are the three unique contributions you bring to your congregation?" It took over an hour to get clarity on that question. Pastors live in a fog. They think, "Well, I do funerals and weddings. I need to lead the staff. "I do some things with the elders, then I do 'this' and should do 'that'." It is a gift when you get to that blinding level of clarity when you think, "If I go to sleep at night and I know that I have done these three things well, that is my greatest contribution to moving this church ahead." Then you find great people who do all the rest.
