Overview: Role Clarity & Standardization

Status

Implementation status: Approved by Servants Council

Date: 2026-05-30

Principle (from Streamline)

Lukaszewski's principle: Every role deserves a clear, written description covering purpose, scope of authority, accountability, and expected outcomes. Standardization prevents one-off confusion and enables fair evaluation.

Mayflower's Current Practice

Mayflower has 31 position descriptions already drafted, covering boards, teams, and approved ministry leader roles. This system standardizes the template shape going forward.
