“The Crystal Cathedral Ministries and Its Unexpected Demise: Was this the result of inadequate corporate governance?”
Co-authored with Dr. Raymond Elson
The case concerns the Crystal Cathedral Ministries, a dynamic organization that started in the founder’s home and eventually grew to include nine buildings covering 40 acres. The crown jewel was the Crystal Cathedral building, considered a masterpiece and became a tourist destination. The leadership team included the founder, his children, and other family members who received salaries and other benefits during the life of the organization. However, declining fortunes, internal disputes ad a heavy debt load led to a bankruptcy filing and its ultimate demise. The case demonstrates the challenges faced by organizations with numerous family members in positions of authority and the conflict of interests that occur when effective corporate governance practices are not implemented to protect the organization’s missions and objectives.
