Small is Better?

“The bigger we grow the more we can effect change.” If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it a million times. From business owners, private school teachers, pastors, non-profit directors.The counter-perspective is, “We don’t want wider change, we want deeper change.” The assumption, of course, is that smaller is better. Public, private, social, religious sectors—it doesn’t matter.The problem is that we offer an alternative but are unwilling (afraid?) to test it in practice. So, it is merely a theoretical alternative. Only talk.If we want to really test if smaller is better, then we should be measuring for that. But we don’t. We have no more data—maybe less—than the “bigger is better” crowd. Different assumptions, different values, same amount of proof. Almost zilch.People like us need to know.What will you begin to measure so you know you’re making a difference?
