3 Keys to Making Change Stick in your Church
by
Change
is inevitable. And unless a church creates healthy change in itself, it
will soon become obsolete. Numerous empty or almost empty churches in
Europe, America’s inner cities, and Canada bear witness to that. Ronald
Heifetz, a Harvard professor and business/leadership author, is most known for a concept called adaptive change/leadership.
Essentially adaptive change requires not cosmetic, familiar, or known
solutions to existing problems (called technical change). Rather it
requires experimentation, change of perspective, developing new values,
and deep change from within. Here you
can see the differences between adaptive change and technical change.
In this brief post I share 3 keys to making change stick in your church.
- They really listened to people inside and outside the organization.
- How well would those in your church say you listen?
- They saw conflict as clues, or symptoms of what needed deep change.
- What conflict currently in your church may indicate need for change?
- The leadership held up the mirror to themselves,
recognizing that they embodied the changes that they needed to make in
the company.
- What change do you think God is leading you to make in yourself?
What keys have you discovered that have helped you bring healthy change?
