Hope you find your brain.

There are some humans that need change on a constant basis to feel good about their world. These types of people tend to be creative in nature and enjoy an everchanging creative experience in this world.

There are other types of people who need a static and stable world in which to thrive.

Each of these types of people tend to seperate into like minded groups in order to find comfort with like kinds of personality.

The rigid personalities will always resist change and the the creatives will always be pushing for more change.

What if apple only had creative personalities in the fold. They would most likely innovate themselves right out of business. Without accountants and lawyers they would be put out of business.

The body of Christ is the same way. Both personality types need each other in order to thrive. Some of the largest mega-churches attract both groups and learn to sustain the needs of both.

As a pastor of leader of any group or business, it is a challenge to keep both groups in check. I think it helps to have a little of both personality types or at least a good understanding of the needs of each type.

Afterall, if you want a trully dynamic organization that lasts the test of time you will have to decide as a leader when it is time to change and when it is time to rest inside the current structure you have built.

Steve Jobs for instance has to strike this balance between apple product consumers who expect constant innovations within the product line and shareholders who expect to first reap the profits off of past innovations.
Afterall with change their comes the cost of development.

In the end both the apple consumer and the shareholder must both compromise in order to keep the business afloat and progressing.

Within the scope of the church pastors must also find a way to strike this balance without growing stagnet.

It is a constant challenge for any organization to keep change and development in check with the need to collect returns on past innovations.

And so I think the “$1 Million Dollar Question”, that each leader must answer is when?

When is the right time to implement change?

Before the climax point, at the climax or after ascending returns turn into dimenishing returns on the change or innovation has been implemented.

I guess it would depend on how successful the innovation in question actually is out of the gate.

Now I am going to stop because my brain just fell our of my left ear. I wonder why it did not slip our of the right ear instead?

Oh well, I have no way tu no cause brain is gone bye bye*

All of this, so that what people expect is stuff he thinks is more important than music, preaching, innovation or even him.

Good reminder, Brad.
