Management in a New Age

Gary Hamel in a short video http://bit.ly/jdRP9H states  that while modern management is one of the greatest innovations in the last century, it is not sufficient to meet the demands of today or the future. Modern management was about getting the most  out of people to make a profit.Today the need is to develop the full potential of  individuals.  In the church do we use people to fill positions and do jobs or do we help them develop their God given gifts?

Hamel says the future belongs  to companies and organizations that are adaptive, innovative, and inspiring. The challenge is to change as  fast as change itself, to see that innovation is the work of everyone , and bring the gift of creativity and passion to everything we do! They aspire to be the best, to challenge dogma (way things are done), and to  learn from the 'fringe'.

How well is your church prepared for the future?
