The Automatic Answer

Is your home, church, or business a permission giving organization? Here's the question to help you discover the answer. When someone comes up with a new idea, program, or vision what two words start your answer?

• No, Because...
• Yes, If...

The first answer automatically tells why the new idea won't work and dismisses it out of hand. The second answer gives permission...if certain criteria can be met. A permission giving organization always answers "Yes, if..." This allows creativity to begin to flow in the organization.

So, which one is your church, home, or business?
