The trust needed to bring organizational transformation in a changing context is not built sitting in a circle. It isn’t built in bull sessions or ropes courses. It’s not built over drinks in a bar or by telling our family histories. It’s not even built in small groups or Bible studies. Those activities may create connections, strengthen affinities and even conceive friendships. But only “meaningful work together” develops the kinds of relationships that will endure into uncharted territory.
