1. The first mistake that new ministers make is thinking that they can simply gain the respect of their congregation by having the title of pastor. They need to earn that respect and earn the right to know the intimate things about a church member's life.
2. New staff members need to learn to follow in the footsteps of their leaders or former church leaders. It is helpful when a pastor listens to the advice of a former leader of the church because he has the knowledge and experience needed to guide the congregation.
3. Slow down. New pastors may think that they have something to prove and while this is somewhat true the pastor needs to take his time and ease his way into the position and changes that may be occurring within the church.
