Richard Koch, The 80/20 Principle: The Secret to Achieving More with Less

“If we don’t develop Type 1 and 2 leaders, churches will stop reproducing. This is not an excuse to neglect Type 3–5 leaders. If we fail to develop these leaders, the churches’ stability and sustainability may be compromised.”
Evelyn Hibbert, Multiplying Leaders in Intercultural Contexts: Recognizing and Developing Grassroots Potential

Joel Richardson
“Sometimes God has to bring catastrophe to pry man away from his goals for himself so that the Lord’s goals will be accomplished to fill the earth with His glory in the salvation of all nations.”
Joel Richardson, The Mystery of Catastrophe: Understanding God’s Redemptive Purposes for the Global Disasters of the Last Days

“If the church already has Type 3, 4, and 5 leaders trained in theological education institutions, it will be very difficult to change the DNA of the church and leadership development to a different pattern. But we can still look for ways to develop the majority of leaders. Perhaps we can infuse new DNA from the edges. If we focus our leadership-development efforts only or mainly on preparing people to be full-time pastors of established churches (Type 3 leaders), we risk causing church stagnation and decline. Making new disciples is not these leaders’ main practical priority.”
Evelyn Hibbert, Multiplying Leaders in Intercultural Contexts: Recognizing and Developing Grassroots Potential
