Couple months ago I blogged about the Pastor Competency Model that's coming into play in my church synod as a pastor hiring tool. I floated the idea of presenting some of the prescribed interview questions as a meme. There was enough positive response to go ahead with it, so in view of the fact that tomorrow begins the second two-day retreat for training based on the PCM, here's Part 1 of the meme for Organizational Skills, Skill One, "Decision Making."
How Organized Are You?
Part One
DECISION MAKING--Identifies problems; analyzes information to draw conclusions; considers alternatives and risks; makes effective judgments with the involvement of others; accepts responsibility for making effective decisions.
If you play, go from your own professional and personal experience. If you feel like passing this meme along, cut and paste from the block quote above.
1. Describe a difficult decision you had to make. What things did you consider when making that decision? What happened as a result of your decision?
2. Describe a complex problem you recently faced. How did you work toward resolving the problem? Whom did you include in the decision process and why?
3. Tell about a decision that involved some risk. What did you consider? What was your final decision and why?
4. Describe a time when it was very important for you to understand all of the underlying issues to avoid drawing a faulty conclusion.
5. Tell about a time when you decided to involve others when making a decision. What was the situation? Whom did you involve and why?
Have fun! Parts 2 and 3 to follow.
