Overview: Role Clarity & Standardization

Adopted by the Servants Council on May 30, 2026.

Status

Implementation status: Active

Due: 2026-04-22

Principle (from Streamline)

Lukaszewski's principle (placeholder): 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

Week 7 of the implementation. Work in progress: store the role template, explain role clarity purpose to leaders. Mayflower has 32 position descriptions already drafted, covering boards, teams, and approved ministry leader roles. This system standardizes the template shape going forward.
