# 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.

## Governance & Document References

- Position Descriptions
- Position Descriptions, individual files 01–31

## Open Questions

- Where is the standard role template itself stored?
- Process for authoring/updating a role using the template
