Lessons on Teamwork

by Gerron

Sunday’s activities introduced themes of teamwork - how to identify leadership, distribute roles, enact perseverance and flexibility, and employ encouragement in order to “win” no matter the circumstance. What did you learn about yourself form those exercises? Can you identify some roles that you are gifted in, when working on a team?

My Thoughts

One of the lessons I learned in regards to teamwork was that everyone has a role to play, specifically according to the gift they have been given by God. I learned its also good to ask questions of my team to know the players’ strengths and weaknesses, especially since a gift I have is delegating roles.

Other roles that I think I’m gifted in when working on a team is being able to play in a role that is needed for the team. One thing I learned about myself is that often I would cast myself as the person leading which isn’t always the best. I think that’s even something the Lord is helping me do is step back and see my team first.
