Three Elements of a Successful Leadership Community

If you want to gather a group of leaders together, what are the elements that will create synergy and accomplishment? The folks at Converge have discovered that groups of leaders that gather around relationships, prayer/study, and mission tend to stay together longer and produce more results than groups of leaders that gather around only one of those elements. Think of them as three circles. Each circle by itself tends toward entropy (slumping attendance, confused direction, etc.). But when the three circles overlap there tends to be low entropy, high synergy and high results in shared mission.

What would that insight mean for a Vestry, staff, short-term mission team or Clericus?
