Leaders Gathering with Bill Hybels – Stafford Feedback

Some feedback received from the event…
Thank you to Willow UK in organising what, for me, was one of the most amazing Leadership Conferences ever.

“How did Barnes and Noble fall so far so fast?”

Developing a Strategic Plan
A. The situation

Willow Creek’s ministries were each experiencing such growth and were focusing so much on their own areas that the church began to lose its identity.
