Why do governing bodies need 
new tools?

Business consultant Peter Drucker suggested that the three toughest management jobs in the United States are university president, hospital CEO, and senior pastor of a large church.  I would add a fourth:  the head of a denominational governing body one level above the congregation.  They are hailed by a variety of names--bishops, executives, district superintendents, are a few—but what they have in common is the responsibility to lead a body where typically less than a third of folks are clearly satisfied with what is happening in their organizations.  That’s just one of the things that makes it tougher than being a pastor of a local church where, on average, just over half the congregation is clearly satisfied with things…and that’s tough enough.
