3 Types of People in a Growing Organization

Excerpted from "Confessions of a Reformission Rev," there are three types of people (only two have long-term futures with said organization) found in all growing organizations as told to Mark Driscoll by John Phelps:

1. People on the rise who show an uncanny ability to grow with the organization and become vital leaders.
2. People who attach themselves to people on the rise as valuable assistants. 
3. People who neither rise or attach to anyone rising, and they cannot keep up with the growing demands of the organization.  These people will either slow down the whole organization or will be released.

This is in reference to growth and leadership.  My prayer for myself and my team is that we learn how to rise and learn how to attach ourselves and support the momentum of others.  Additionally, we should pray that when we become an encumbrance to the growth and vitality of the ministry, we have a soft enough heart to change or to find a place where we are not diminishing or endangering vision and mission.
