The role of meetings in organizational communication challenges is discussed, emphasizing the importance of strategic intersections and avoiding unnecessary meetings. The three stages of career development related to meetings are also mentioned. The chapter concludes by highlighting the importance of aligning systems, strategies, structures, and programs with the mission and vision of the church to avoid complexity and lack of alignment hindering church growth.
Often, well-intentioned churches add more programs believing it will lead to more growth. In reality, competing priorities ultimately lead to more complexity and a lack of alignment.
In this episode, Tony and Amy continue our series on Stupid Church Tricks—explaining what we can learn from them and how to avoid them.
