Discussion Guide:
- As organizations grow they, naturally and by necessity, become more complex. Considering this, unpack Larry’s principle of “Complexity is always solved by simplicity.”
- Are we trying enough new things with the freedom to fail, so that we can continually create better experiences?
- Do we have any systems in place that we have outgrown, and that need to be changed?
- Do a quick analysis or observation of the four pinch points at your church. Which if any needs to be addressed first? Worship capacity? Parking? Kid space? Decision-making processes?
- Do we have shepherds in roles where a Big L leader would be a better fit, and vice versa, do we have Big L leaders in roles where a shepherd would be better?
- Are we establishing a multi-congregational or multi-site organization?
- Are we making our volunteer roles doable and rewardable?
