The “TEAM” is Spiritually Significant
Jesus formed a team
•Even Jesus knew he could
not change the world by
himself
•You need to coordinate
the energies of a range of
complementary people
working towards the
same goal

Jesus onTeam Building
•He had a plan
•He had a clear picture of the big picture and
always gave his team clear instructions
•He trained his replacement
•He constantly reminded his team that
•“Greater things than I have done shall you do”

Jesus: Lead by Example
•He set an example
•The team was shocked when he
took off his garment and washed
their feet
•His answer was simple,
•“I am doing this to set an example
for you”

Jesus:Teams Should Have Fun
• He was constantly is a state of celebration
•His first “miracle” was turning water into wine (not
grape juice)
•He was always invited to parties and dinners

and dine

determines the kind of relationships
we have and what happens to us

This talk/listen cycle helps
to keep BP evenly regulated
•When we speak our blood
pressure goes up
•When we are listening attentively
in a relaxed manner, blood
pressure usually falls
•Heart rate slows - below resting
level

you are

LET'S GET RID OF MANAGEMENT
People don't want to be managed,
They want to be led.
Whoever heard of a world manager?
World leader, yes
Educational leader Political leader
Religious leader Scout leader
Community leader Labour leader Business
leader Gang Leader
They lead They don't manage

THE CARROT ALWAYSWINS OVERTHE STICK
•Ask your horse
•You can lead your horse
to water,
•But you can't manage
him to drink

IFYOU WANTTO MANAGE SOMEBODY,
•Manage yourself
•Do that well and you'll be
ready to stop managing
•And start leading

Teams
•No one is
smarter
than a
team

Restore or replenish by connecting to a power supply.

The Vision Statement
•This is what members of
the community imagine
that the company could be
•under the best of circumstances

The Mission Statement
•A clearly written,
•easy-to-remember statement of
the company’s purpose
•Will help demonstrate what
company is about

The Elements of a Ideal Mission Statement
(1) A mission statement should be no longer than a
single sentence

(3) It can be recited by memory even under stress
(4) It should be memorable and measurable

Imagine an ideal company
•What would it be like?
•What services would be offered?
•What would the building,
•the staff, and the services be like?
