No Little People, No Little Places (11 of 20)

Sales plummeted as petty turf battles developed between labor and management. But in 1986, new president James Near implemented a new MBA program for all Wendy's employees--mop bucket attitude. The mop bucket attitude said that every job at Wendy's is an important job, every employee an important person.

People started working together as teams and appreciating each other's contributions to the organization, no matter what their job. As a result, the customers came back and so did the profits--$51 million in 1992!
Acts 6.1-7 is the story of how the apostles leading the first church implemented their own MBA program that produced the results recorded in verse 7:
And the word of God kept on spreading; and the number of the disciples continued to increase greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were becoming obedient to the faith.
