Profile of a Team

As July 20 -21 rolls around the corner, it is important to not only stay in a posture of prayer, but to team together as one cohesive unit to set the stage for the Holy Spirit to bring about salvation and awakening to every man attending.

As we begin to team together, here are some wisdom nuggets from unknown sources. As leaders, it is always helpful to do a self check as we "shamelessly recruit" and assemble our various teams -

Profile of a Team

• Works toward a common goal
• Develops its members’ skills
• Efficiently uses its time and talents
• Embraces the diversity of its members
• Is committed to continuous improvement
• Builds morale internally
• Performs effectively and produces results
• Accepts praise and criticism
• Cooperates rather than competes
• Maintains a positive attitude toward everyone’s ideas
• Stays on task
• Uses resources wisely
• Communicates openly
• Teaches and learns from one another
• Resolves conflicts effectively
• Welcomes challenges
• Shares pride in its accomplishments
• Celebrates successes

Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.

And keep in mind always: the Lord doesn't ask about your ability, only your availability; and, if you prove your dependability, the Lord will increase your capability.
