You Can’t Hire Your Way Out Of A Culture Problem
A healthy team beats a new face. Build the habits that make vision stick.
Two Ways Leaders Try To Fix Team Problems
The “New Hire Will Fix It” Path
● Months of search, interviews, and on-boarding
● Culture fit is a coin toss
● Momentum stalls while everyone waits for the new leader
● Budget hit, then pressure for quick wins
● If root issues remain, turnover repeats
Sometimes you do need a new pastor. Do the team work first so they win on day one.
The “Level Up the Team” Path
● Shared language in 30 days
● Weekly rhythm that drives clarity and follow-through
● Clear roles and handoffs
● Faster decisions with less drama
● Volunteer placement by gifting, not need
● Measurable progress in 90 days

Real Team Transformations
Faithbridge Church
Challenge: Rapid growth created program complexity that blurred disciple-making focus. Action: Applied clarity tools at several stages to simplify and refocus on disciple-making. Outcome: “Game changers… shaping a disciple-making culture and fighting programmatic complexity.” — Ken Werlein“We utilized Will Mancini and his team at several stages in our church’s history as we navigated rapid growth. The outcomes were game changers for us in continuing to shape a disciple-making culture and in fighting programmatic complexity with great clarity.” — Ken Werlein, Faithbridge Church, Spring TX
Elizabeth Baptist Church
Challenge: Chose to rethink “everything” and codify vision for everyday use.
Action: Trusted the Pivvot Process to rebuild the Vision Frame.
Outcome: “I now use our Vision Frame every day.” — Craig Oliver
“As an intuitive visionary, I’ve always liked Will Mancini’s clarity tools. Several years ago, however, we invested in the opportunity to rethink everything at our church and trusted the Pivvot Process to do so. I now use our Vision Frame every day. I highly recommend the RunFree.co team to any pastor.”
— Craig Oliver, Elizabeth Baptist Church, Atlanta GA
