Carey Nieuwhof had a great post entitled, 5 Signs Bad Governance Is Stifling Your Church’s Growth and Mission. In a previous post that he no longer has posted, Niewshof had some great points on how committees can knock the wind out of good ideas. In his post, he said,
When it comes to courageous change, here are four things that are true:
Committees kill vision
Individuals are almost always more courageous than teams
The more people you seek to please up front, the less inspiring your idea will become
Leaders don’t always walk alone, but sometimes they have to start alone.
