The Positives, Negatives, and Neutrals

Mark Driscoll offers a leadership advice on installing a leadership team in the church that lasts. He puts people in three categories, then recommended the right action for each:

Negatives are people who do ungospel things in ungospel ways for ungospel reasons.

Neutrals are followers who are easily influenced.

What he wrote reminded me of management writer Jim Collins' oft-quoted mantra: Get the right people on the bus and the wrong people off the bus before even starting the engine.
