The key is to do so in a spirit of cooperation, not a spirit of disruption. It’s okay to have different opinions, challenge the system – and even the leader. Differing viewpoints help make us all better. You don’t have to be the odd person out – even if you’re different from everyone else.

I see more internal silos than I see true cooperation. Without this there is more competition than there is cooperation. Healthy teams work through conflict and remain cooperative and supportive of one another. I still see more control than empowerment. There are multiple agendas. Communication is controlled.

You need the right people – people who will voice their own opinions, but will also be positive-minded, cooperative and supportive of other people’s thoughts. And, inviting outside people is often a good idea even with large staffs.) You need plenty of time, because ideas often come slowly.

It sounds cooperative. The team is part of a accomplishing the greater vision. But their ineffectiveness comes when there is no leader. Granted, I believe in teams. I even love the word – TEAM! Energy-building. Inclusive. I think we should always strive to create great teams. But here’s what often happens. The team doesn’t work.

The spirit of cooperation is elevated. When the team is really healthy… Silence can be interpreted as agreement. That’s because: The freedom to challenge is present. The fear of retribution is absent. The power of unity is prominent. The synergy of differences is celebrated. The collaboration of ideas has been utilized.

My family understands me and cooperates. This helps with my sermon preparation, but also gives me “down” time. Interruptions will always come, but the more intentional I am with my calendar the more prepared I am when Sunday comes. This is often the hardest one, because it obviously involves other people.

Romans 13 teaches cooperation with our governing authorities. I think “give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and God what is God’s” applies here in principle. The context of your community and state (or even country for my international readers) may be different, but we can’t ignore our government leaders.

It should be said, this post is based on the premise you are making the decision to leave, and the church cooperates with you in doing so. Having recently left a church we helped revive, again we wanted to end in a way to protect the church going forward. We tried to be intentional. I realize that’s not always the case.
