Things That Choke A Small Group
By Paul | September 6, 2007
Beware of these chokers this year:
- Spiritual smugness
- Betraying confidences
- Overextending quitting time
- Lack of love and encouragement from the leader
- Lack of childcare when needed
- No clearly defined purpose
- Autocratic leadership
- Becoming only a social event
- No leadership–or an unprepared leader
- Location and time not convenient
- Homogeneous population–lack of diversity
- Physical setting too large, cold, or formal
- Repeated lateness or absenteeism
- Focusing on absent members instead of those present
- Being negative or critical of others
