This should always be the end goal of correction. Avoiding the corrective procedure keeps the organization from being all it can be. Good leaders use correction to improve people and the organization. Using authority without an established relationship may work in a bureaucratic organization, but not in a team environment.

Because the church is an organization made up of people, these reasons are often similar to those you may find true as to why growth stalls in the life of an organization also.

Healthy organizations maintain an unchanging vision they sustain long-term. We need to plan, strategize and organize. Example : I love to empower the staff to create their own goals and objectives. Most people like clarity, but if everything is so carefully scripted the organization has probably become stale.

This one has more to do with the organization or people receiving the change than the leader implementing change. This doesn’t mean you don’t attempt to change the DNA, but realize every church and organization isn’t wired for change in the same way. Work within a DNA conducive to change.

Some of the phrases used and feedback about the organization as a whole have captured my attention.

This form of delegation does more harm than good for an organization. It kills employee morale and motivation and it keeps the mission of the organization from reaching its full potential.
