As ministers, our goal is that people would be fully actualized in the will of God. We spend our lives so that others may find Christ and experience His empowering love. Unfortunately, when ministers stray from this they become mere executive managers. This is not just a weakness, it is a fatal flaw for it is not at all the true nature of ministry. I really like the thoughts you bring up!Justin McNeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18328966581765935559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797034330399726254.post-57629798791790190942008-12-09T00:12:00.000+11:002008-12-09T00:12:00.000+11:00The whole Detriot vs Japan thing in the car indust...The whole Detriot vs Japan thing in the car industry has a very long and complicated history. It can be viewed and understood on many different levels, and you need to have at least two angles to understand any of it. Indeed, it partly comes down to differences in national culture, and workplace culture. <BR/><BR/>People wrote books about this, even in the 70's, when Toyota was emerging as a leader in quality control and cost control.<BR/><BR/>There is a fictional american movie addressing only the surface of these differences, called Gung Ho. From way back in 1986, staring Michael Keaton. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091159/<BR/><BR/>In about 1980, Chysler almost went under. In a similar way, I doubt GM will dissapear. But they may have to change.Jonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00690974927956918080noreply@blogger.com
