As explained by various Master Stewards during the week, TBI is designed for E-V-E-R-Y-B-O-D-Y. Impact Leadership was created for...well, the leaders of the chapter. However, the tenets of TBI are something that every member can work with.
LCA has had various programs (LEAP, Impact, The Great Passage), but they all focused on the honchos. TBI was developed because we need to have men who'll become True Brothers first so that they can become leaders later.
Some of our best and brightest have been involved in this implementation, so I'm a believer in the ideas behind the program. Of course, while I'm not from Missouri, I'm also waiting and seeing how things go at this stage.
Yes, the manuals have all been redesigned. However, part of the reason this was done is because it's difficult to get people to read 300+pp. manuals these days (unless it's the ops manual for their iPod). They're all down to a manageable size - the manuals handed out last week were 60pp. or less. Odds are you'll be more apt to read this size manual than wade through Standards...
In ZAX,
BF
