Sticky Teams:
Keeping Your Leadership Team and Staff on the Same Page
By Larry Osborne (Zondervan)
A 2011 Outreach Resource of the Year

“No matter how dysfunctional our churches, boards or staffs may become, Jesus did promise that He would build His Church and that the gates of hell would not hold it back. … For 2,000 years, we’ve suffered more than our share of failed leadership, astounding cultural blind spots, nasty fights, misplaced priorities, millstone traditions and lots of sin in the camp. But we’ve not been able to kill off the Church yet. … That alone should give us great confidence. Even when confronted by a pit-bull board member, an Absalom on the staff, or a congregational crazy, the promise still stands.” –Larry Osborne, from the book
