Qualities Needed in Team Members

Share:

God designed the church to function as a unit … a body, a team (1 Cor. 12) … which requires unity. Following are four qualities that will help team members be more united. You will notice that it requires the removal of “self.”

Trust

All must learn to respect and accept one another regardless of opinions, personalities, or differences in gifting and abilities.

Engaged

All must eagerly do their part according to God’s design.

Adaptable

All must humbly accept what’s best in order to accomplish God’s purposes rather than push their own agendas or personal gain.

Missional

All must look at the big picture and strategically pursue God’s purposes.

Note the word “all” under each of the above team qualities.  To truly be a unified team and reach optimal effectiveness, each member of the team must pursue these qualities.

In the next post we will look at the team leader’s responsibility to promote these kinds of qualities. You can subscribe to the blog to receive e-mail notification of new posts.

You’ll find this acrostic in the Steering the Church Toward God’s Purposes Leadership Guide where team building, along with 24 other leadership responsibilities, is examined in light of our church purpose to love God and people. In addition to the acrostic as it is above, you’ll also find a line under each letter of the kind of commitment it takes to get there.
