Team Building

I’ve recently been studying team building while pursuing my masters in Christian leadership at Liberty University. It’s prompted me to organize thoughts on how I build my teams. I figured I would share them with all the team builders out there.

The first thing that comes to mind is importance of selecting the leaders on the team. It’s absolutely amazing you can accomplish when you have the right people in the right spots. You can take over a field in business, win a city, build a dynasty, and pretty much do anything with the right team. Jesus hand picked his twelve members and so should we.

Over the next few posts I will share qualities that I look for in potential team members or leaders.

Here are some excellent books on team building:

• The Power Of Team Leadership by George Barna
• The 17 Indisputable Laws Of Teamwork by John C. Maxwell
• Developing The Leaders Around You by John C. Maxwell
• 7 Practices Of Effective Ministry by Andy Stanley
• The Five Dysfunctions Of A Team by Patrick Lencioni
