The Amazon drone delivery program in College Station, Texas provides critical leadership lessons for church leaders who might push forward with innovations without considering their impact. This episode examines five key truths from Amazon's mistake and how they directly apply to church leadership decisions.
• Innovation without invitation is invasion - launching programs without community input risks alienating the people you want to serve
• When people don't feel heard, they push back through resistance, complaints, and sometimes leaving
• Progress isn't always worth the price if it fractures relationships and community trust
• The right location matters - strategies that work in one context may fail in another
• Trust is hard to win and easy to lose when leaders make decisions without transparency
Are you listening well enough to your congregation before making big decisions? Your leadership is only as strong as the trust your people have in you.
