Change game plan

In you live long enough you will go through change. It is a part of life. If you're fortunate enough, you will be the one who is a leader of the transition.

Soon, I expect, there will be a lot of transition in my ministry.

So how do you make change as smooth as possible?

As one who hasn't always hit the bulls-eye...

Explain the Purpose - Clarify why the change is needed.
Paint a Picture - Show those whom it will effect what the end-point will (hopefully) look like.
Share a Plan - Give an outline of the steps that will be made to make the change happen smoothly.
Invite them to play a Part - Show them how they can be involved.
