Of course, there were some great books such as those by Morton Hansen, Amy Edmondson, and Ron Ricci. When all members are focused on the good of the organization and its goals, rather than focusing on individual or departmental agendas, the power of the organization is unleashed. There was little written about it. Talk openly.

Just as adults may have a plan for their career or finances, parents need a plan for operating their home. It may help if it is written, but should definitely summarize the major goals you hope to accomplish in your home. That’s really the overall goal we were were seeking in our time as a family.

But on successful teams, all three are operating together within a life cycle. One goal of a team could be to balance the strengths of the team members around each of these, so the team is always starting, maintaining, and finishing. I have found it rare for someone to be gifted in all three. I love being a starter.

There is a clear strategy; with distinct goals in place. People are operating with reasonable, attainable, measurable and worthy goals. Personally, I like to operate on a few simple broad goals each year, but then have more specific goals updated every 90 days. There is a plan to achieve the vision.

Obviously this is our goal if we lead or even serve on a team. The environment, in which the team operates, is more important than it ever has been in my leadership. What makes up a healthy team? Who would want to serve on an unhealthy team? Talk about wasting time. And, we’ve all been there. The team didn’t gel as a group.

Do the math on that for your church.

In case you’re wondering- my definition of a dysfunctional team – in simple terms – is one which cannot operate at peak efficiency and performance, because it is impacted by too many negative characteristics. We are all dysfunctional at some level and during some seasons. Team members never feel valued or appreciated.

Chances are, if you’ve served on very many teams, that you’ve served on one that is dysfunctional. It appears to me that we have many to choose from in the organizational world.

Amy Edmondson, a professor at Harvard Business School and author of “ Strategies for Learning from Failure ,” says that of course it’s not easy to “keep people enthused, engaged, and working hard when they know the company may not be around.” “There is often a short window of opportunity to do something differently,” Edmondson says.
