LEADERSHIP IDEA — October 2008
By Joyce Stephens, State Women’s Ministries President, Tennessee

Building a Team in Women’s Ministries

 You have heard the statement many times that “Many hands make the load lighter.”  This is definitely a true statement with the many ministries involved in Women’s Ministries.  One woman will burn out fast if she tries to do these ministries by herself.  If we involve many women and build a team, we can accomplish so much more.

Consider the following thought from John Maxwell’s book, “Teamwork Makes the Dream Work.”

HOW TO “C” YOUR WAY INTO BETTER TEAM WORK

It takes a team to achieve a dream.  But what does it take to create a team?  If your women can seize these “C’s,” then you will be able to see your way to victory.

Commitment that inspires results
Contributions that make a difference
Competency that raises the standard
Communication that increases effectiveness
Cooperation that creates harmony
Chemistry that enhances personal connection
Creativity that enlarges the team’s potential
Conflict management that reduces tension rapidly
Cohesiveness that allows change to be rapid


Community that makes the journey fun

 

It marks a big step in your
development when you come to realize
that other people can help you
do a better job than you could do alone.
— Andrew Carnegie

 

Alone we can do so little;
Together we can do so much.
— Helen Keller
