After reading a recent post by Trevin Wax entitled "Do You Have A Sense of Urgency?", I was moved to look at the full quote from Kotter's book. Here it is:
"What is the single biggest error people make when they try to change? After reflection, I decided the answer was that they did not create a high enough sense of urgency among enough people to set the stage for making a challenging leap into a new direction."
As someone who has pastored military congregations where you usually only have a few years to make an impact I can testify that Kotter's insight is correct. Where is the sense of urgency in the local church? Just a rhetorical question. I don't expect an answer, although I do suspect that Jesus does.
