Old Thoughts
- When new comers come on Sunday, they should be plugged into one of the ministries.
- There should be a gradual transition between each of these ministries
- There should be a plan
military analogy
- lots of little battle units with generals (organizing their own missions)
- no admirals strategizing and giving plans and orders for overall war plan.
- to make a plan, you need to know what is happening on the war fronts.
- what are the needs
- successes, losses
- no communications between the admiral and generals. Regular Reporting or admiral needs to touch base with generals.
- Strategies include adding reinforcements, providing moral support to troops, changing targets, programs etc.
