NOTE: This is the second in a series of Weekly Briefings on nine major themes for implementing organizational change found in academic journals. We are looking for clues to answer the question, “Why do some men’s discipleship programs succeed while others languish or fail?” For now, I leave it to you to apply these general summaries to your men’s discipleship program. You can also apply the themes more broadly to change your business, your church, or even your family. The next theme in organizational change is having the right people. Collins (2001, p. 13) found that having the right people was even more important than having the right idea. He noted the Good to Great companies made sure to get the right people on the bus—even before deciding where they wanted to go.This theme, of course, extends to the leader positions already discussed, and to the staff of the organization. Factors related to this theme found in the literature will now be introduced. The full article is available FREE to registered users. Please SIGN UP or LOGIN to view. |
