## Resource

What happens when leaders invite feedback before decisions are finalized instead of after they're announced? In this episode of Called to Flourish , Peter Krol , President, and Tom Hallman , Vice President of DiscipleMakers , share how their ministry built one of the most engaged workplace cultures in their sector by creating clear rhythms of listening, collaboration, and shared ownership. Rather than relying on top-down decision-making, they developed practical ways for staff to contribute input early—strengthening alignment as the organization expanded from 11 to 26 campuses. Their experience offers a compelling model for ministry leaders who want to grow without losing mission clarity or cultural health. You'll gain insight on: • Why inviting feedback early strengthens trust across teams • How shared fundraising builds unity throughout an organization • How engagement surveys help leaders detect culture drift sooner • What it takes to scale ministry while protecting mission alignment 👉 Subscribe to Called to Flourish and share this conversation with a fellow leader.
