Dysfunction weighs us down and keeps us from becoming healthy. It keeps us from growing and fulfilling our potential.
Often some well meaning person will come up with some plan to lead the church, the group or the relationship into a better place. The problem with such plans is that if the dysfunction is allowed to persist, nothing will change.
Dysfunction holds down an organization like a rock tied to a balloon. Release the rock and the balloon will fly.
Examples of dysfunction:
- a staff person that is rude
- financial policies that are not clear or transparent
- leaders who have made the organization about them instead of the members.
- leaders and relationship partners that do not listen.
- there are a hundred more dysfunctional things that are allowed in churches, organizations and relationships.
Dysfunction must be dealt with and removed if the balloon is going to fly. Until that happens, no new plan will fix the organizational malaise.
What rocks are holding back your balloon from flying?
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
