Hi everyone!
Mark Conner, senior pastor of CityLife Church in Melbourne, Australia - a church with around 5000 people attending each weekend in a number of locations, has done an excellent series on communicating to change lives
Mark's Blog is one of my personal favorites. Its great to have people like Mark, who is a bit further along the leadership journey than I am, to learn from and gleam off
It has 5 parts to it , so I will post 1 part per day
Enjoy!

TEAM EFFORT
TEAM EFFORT THE PRINCIPLES
Team effort doesn’t happen by accident. It takes focused effort from the leader to make it a reality. Here are some lessons in team building, from John Maxwell
1. Express the God-given vision for growth and excellence regularly.
2. Clearly communicate and regularly update specific goals.
3. Share consistent information about progress toward the goals.
4. Make every effort to help team members identify and utilize their spiritual gifts.
5. Provide ample opportunities to improve the skills necessary to complete the goals.
6. Keep individual spiritual vitality a priority, and find ways to encourage it.
7. Express gratitude publicly and privately for faithful and effective service.
8. If a team member is not performing adequately, confront the problem with love, andprovide an opportunity for additional training or resources to improve performance.
9. Saturate the atmosphere with openness, understanding, and affirmation.
10. Demonstrate to the team your commitment to excellence, personal integrity, and spiritual vitality.
11. Devote top-quality time to building a strong administrative team who will move thewhole team toward the vision.
12. Recruit additional positive team members, and make it an ongoing priority.
What ones jump of the page and speak to you?
My suggestion is pick two that you want to focus on and action this week. Remember buliding a strong team culture doesn't happen in a day, it happens daily.
Let me know how you get on
