This review is from: Size Transitions in Congregations (Harvesting the Learnings) (Harvesting the Learnings Series) (Paperback)

Gaede thinks through the social dynamics that create organizational size barriers and the internal changes that need to be made to navigate the size change. Compliments Alice Mann and Routhage's work and helps the leader of an organization seeking to change to a larger group dynamic to think through their own changes.
