If you aren't innovating, stagnation isn't far away.
Ministry leaders carry the burden of keeping their organizations lean, focused, and relevant. When souls are on the line, there's no room for bureaucratic bloat or a cumbersome infrastructure. It's up to the leadership--that's you--to realize where the organization is in maintenance mode and find ways to innovate even when the growth curve has slowed and the team has grown complacent.
In The Innovation Crisis, Ted Esler shows you how to innovate in ways that change the ministry landscape. He'll help you keep an eye on your "eccliosystem"--the ecclesial ecosystem in which you exist. You'll learn about the four stages of organizational culture--disrupting, innovating, sustaining, and stagnating--and gain strategies for staying in that sweet spot where innovations keep coming and stagnation can't take hold.
The gospel of Jesus never grows stale. Don't let your ministry forget it!
