Question

Describe a situation in which your ability to do a great job was prevented by a company, a peer, or a supervisor. What prevented you from being able to do your best? How could that obstacle be removed to allow you to perform at your peak?

Answer 1

Often times in youth ministry I am prevented from doing the best at my job because there are policies in place or things that have just 'always been done that way' which are held priority over people. Having to completely adhere to these policies, rules and 'traditions' often prevent me from doing proper work and establishing 'no-strings-attached' relationships with youth to really make an impact in their lives.
