Review:
I found the book to be quite good and it resonated deeply with alot of the issues that leaders face in todays church's, non-profits and in fact almost all organizations.
Warning: Please don't buy this book and give it to your staff to read until you have read it and embraced what it is saying. Culture change from the bottom up is not an option, the decision to influence and change a church's culture at the staff level and/or the congregation level needs to be taken seriously, and is no short term program or project.
That being said, Dr. Chand does a great job of helping leaders understand what some of the conversations they may need to start having in order to move on in implementing their vision's and strategies for their churches, especially those who find themself with great vision and stagnant progress.
The book outlines some basic cultures that exist and offers the starting off question what kind of culture do you have? Does your team or church have an : inspiring culture, accepting culture, stagnant culture, discouraging culture, or toxic culture. Buy and read the book and take the free online survey to find out more.
The book gives some good practical examples of how we all can change or influence our cultures, it is definitely worth the read. It is well written and not to complex and brainy. Despite my previous warning, I would recommend all church staffs be brave enough to read and discuss it together in and open and honest forum. As the Church we are all about changing lives! Let's start with our lives, our teams, and our churchs so God may use us all to impact the world.
