The Professor who was interviewed in the area of education world-wide would suggest that your very structured way of seeing things is leading to the demise of creativity and satisfacton. I would tend to agree with him. I work within this very structured movement, (which no doubt you like due to your personality type - probably a "J" in the Myers/Briggs) and as a person who enjoys brainstorming and team based ministry, it can be lacking. I think I agree with the TC on this one and would love to see change, change that encourages useful support structure and creative endeavour.

Clever.<br /><br />HS - not easy. requires courage. expect significant outcomes.<br /><br />A4 - This is probably true for you. Do you want life without risk?<br />There will always be nepotism in the family of God.<br /><br />THQ will probably not be perfect in the eyes of some. Don't be distracted by that which does not contribute to your improvement. A1 and A2/R – Thanks.

A3 – Assumptions? Clever.

HS – not easy. requires courage. expect significant outcomes.

A4 – This is probably true for you. Do you want life without risk?
There will always be nepotism in the family of God.

THQ will probably not be perfect in the eyes of some. Don't be distracted by that which does not contribute to your improvement.

Horizontal structures, be they webs or circles often make for a more pleasant working environment.

However, when it comes to productivity, the most effective organisational structure still remains a linear one.

Of course there's always a danger with linear structures that the person in charge can abuse their power and become nepotistic.

But that would never happen at THQ would it?
