TEAM MEMBER TRAINING
Competency: To collaborate humbly and effectively with others, valuing the team's success above personal preference.
Why This Matters: We work in teams not just for efficiency, but as a witness. A healthy team reflects the unity of the Trinity and shows a watching world what a community living out the Gospel looks like. Being a great team player is an act of discipleship.
Think about the best team you have ever been a part of (at work, in sports, etc.). What made it a great team?
Read: Philippians 2:3-4
This passage tells us to look not only to our own interests, but also to the interests of others? What does this look like practically during a busy Sunday morning?
What is the difference between 'false humility' and the genuine humility Paul describes here?
Working in a group is not the same as being part of a team. A group is a collection of individuals who work near each other. A team is a group of individuals who trust each other, work toward a common goal, and hold one another accountable.
On a church ministry team, this requires a high level of relational health. Great team players learn to be good "senders" and "receivers" of communication. As senders, they speak with clarity and kindness. As receivers, they listen to understand, not just to respond. They assume the best about their teammates and are quick to offer help and encouragement. They see the team's shared success as their personal success.
What is one specific action you can take to be a better sender (communicator) and receiver (listener) on your team?
Honestly assess your default tendency on a team? Are you more likely to jump in and take over, or hang back and wait to be told what to do?
What fear (e.g., fear of conflict, fear of being wrong) might hold you back from fully engaging with your team?
