Vision/Values Route: Assessment

The Four Organizing Principles

The four organizing principles are Visionary Leadership; Relationship Experiences; Programmatic Emphases; and Accountable Management.

Throughout this tutorial Visionary Leadership may be referred to simply as Vision, Relationship Experiences as Relationships, Programmatic Emphases as Programs, and Accountable Management as Management.

Vision, Relationships, Programs, and Management correlate to the first four factors of the Initial Inventory.

Understanding, strengthening in a manner that empowers congregational transformation, and appropriately positioning these organizing principles is a crucial issue for congregations.

Congregations who are growing younger and more vital as a representation of the body of Christ have more emphasis on Vision and Relationships than they do on Programs and Management. Congregations who are growing older and more passive as a representation of the body of Christ have more emphasis on Programs and Management than they do on Vision and Relationships.

To illustrate this point further, I invite you to consider this metaphor!
