Every effective leader devotes significant time to
building a strong leadership team. Those include both staff and lay
leadership teams.
Staff Retreats: Staff retreats that focus on
teambuilding or at least have a teambuilding component can be most helpful.
These retreats may vary in length from a few hours to two or three days.
The MBA staff has training and experience in leading both
church staff and lay retreats that focus on building a stronger leadership team.
Some of the resources on which they can draw to lead a productive retreat are:
Success Style Profile (SSP) is an instrument
designed to measure the way a person has trained his/her brain to solve
problems, make decisions, and relate to others. Understanding the style and
preferences of fellow team members and learning how to build on each others
strengths while complementing and/or compensating for weaknesses are essential
to more effective teams.
Situational Self Leadership is an instrument
developed by Ken Blanchard to assist leaders using appropriate management styles
to help fellow team members become peak performers.
Learning to Communicate Better is a workshop
developed by John Savage that is based on learning better listening skills. The
workshop that has helped thousands of leaders and churches become better teams
because they became better listeners.
Other topics and sessions can be customized
to meet the unique teambuilding needs of each church leader.
