The Staying Staff Book

Every great leader eventually faces the same question: Who will stay?
In a time when commitment is fleeting and turnover is common, The Staying Staff emerges as a vital guide for those called to build something lasting. Dr. Jeremiah C. Hackley, a respected voice in Kingdom leadership and organizational development, offers a prophetic and practical blueprint for identifying and developing the covenant leaders assigned to your vision.

This book is more than a manual—it’s a movement toward sacred trust. It explores the spiritual and strategic work of cultivating staff who do more than just show up; they remain through seasons, storms, and stretching. Dr. Hackley unpacks what it means to form teams rooted in covenant rather than convenience, driven not by personality but by purpose, and united not merely by position, but by a prophetic call.

With rich insight, spiritual depth, and years of experience, Dr. Hackley reveals how to shape a culture of honor, build enduring relationships among leaders, resolve conflict with grace, and anchor your staff in the kind of consistency that reflects the character of Christ. This book speaks to the heart of every visionary who has ever felt the weight of the work and longed for a staff that would hold it with them—not just for a season, but for the sacred journey.

The Staying Staff is an invitation to shift how you see your team, your leadership, and your calling. It is for those who believe that faithfulness still matters, that covenant is stronger than convenience, and that the right people—spiritually aligned and divinely assigned—will not only stand beside you but help carry the vision forward.

If you're ready to build more than a staff—if you're ready to build a legacy—this book is your guide.

The vision God gave you deserves a staff that stays.
