HEALING ABUSIVE ORGANISATIONS by Philip Rosenthal
The following programme of action is proposed for healing an abusive organisation:
· Teaching: - Integrate into courses, conferences & preaching themes of organisation. - Key subjects: o Spiritual abuse o Correct discipline o Godly leadership o Fallenness of human nature – potential for evil in seemingly good men.
· Staff change: - Discipline abusive hypocrites – preferably remove from leadership. - Bring in leaders from outside to stop inbreeding. - Send leaders on Sabbatical to spend time in other organisations or in business exchanging ideas and learning new things.
· Structural change: - Accountability forums to members. - Accountability to trans-local leadership in relationship to local. - Constitutional reform. - Encourage openness and transparency.
· Leadership reform: - Leaders get new mentors from healthy ministries - Take time off. - Read books and study how to lead in a fair and non-abusive manner. - Spiritual time to focus on God. - Public rebuke of leaders for sin. - Public repentance for wrong done. - Get rid of religious status symbols.
· Relationship - Leaders form relationships with other leaders in healthy ministries - Organisations form relationships with other healthy organisations
· Protection of good leaders - Prayer mobilisation for leaders
