Limit – 10 Church Staff Teams
Rev. Mark E. Tidsworth, Staff Trainer and Leadership Coach
"If you could get all the people in an organization rowing in the same direction, you could dominate any industry, in any market, against any competition, at any time."
— Patrick Lencioni, The Five Dysfunctions Of A Team
Though we easily recognize the wisdom in the quote above, how much capacity do we have for developing our church staff teams? Where do we even begin? How can we build on our current practices to create a mission-congruent culture among our church staff? Is there a simple, practical guide we could personalize for our team and context?
For many years, we at Pinnacle Leadership Associates have specialized in developing church staff teams toward mission-congruent effectiveness. After hundreds of team retreats and staff development days, we have developed this one day learning experience for multiple church staffs. Each time we do this training, we are impressed by the benefits of collaborative learning and interaction embedded in this day. So rather than limit our work to one church at a time, we are offering this collaborative learning experience to a maximum of 10 staff teams, learning together while contributing to each other. If you are looking for a quality collaborative learning experience, with opportunity to develop your team formation strategy, then this day may be for your team.
Our day includes these three distinct segments:
Presentation – Mark Tidsworth guides participants into Faith Centering, followed by presentation of The Five Practices Of High Functioning Teams. This morning segment includes real time for processing and reflecting as a team on the five practices, considering relevance and application in your context.
Cross Pollination Lunch – Participants engage each other over lunch, sharing insights and wisdom from their experience.
Affinity Group Exploration – During the afternoon segment, participants gather with others who share their roles, mining for best practices. Afterwards, each affinity group raises awareness of other participants about the nature of their roles, along with the best practices that rise to the surface through collaborative conversation.
