*This post is from the defunct blog “Dying Church”*

From [Fast Company's](http://www.fastcompany.com/homepage/index.html?ref=dashhouse.com) First Impression:

> "Organizations that are run by heroes hit barriers." (Timothy Butler, Director, Harvard Business School Career Center)

How true. It's freeing to move beyond acting (or pretending) that the pastor is a hero with the answers and charisma to move the church forward. It's a little sad that it's taken [Jim Collins](http://www.jimcollins.com/lab/level5/index.html?ref=dashhouse.com) and Enron for a lot of us (including me) to catch on to this.
