Why Churches Fail to Change

1. Allowing too much complacency
2. Failing to create a sufficiently powerful guiding coalition
3. Underestimating the power of vision
4. Under communicating the vision by a factor of 10 (or 100 or even 1,000)
5. Failure to remove obstacles to the vision
6. Not systematically planning for and creating short-term wins
7. Declaring victory too soon
8. Failure to anchor change in the organizations culture
