Teams are important, especially from a Christian worldview. It is important for the unpretentious fact that “Jesus sent people out in ministry; he sent them out in twos. He did not expect them to minister alone” (Mark 6:7). We were created to work together in the name of Jesus to spread the gospel and minister to nonbelievers. The Bible is full of example of teamwork and servant leaders. Just as Bezalel had the “skill, ability and knowledge in all kind of crafts” (Exodus 35:31) it is important for us, as God’s children to exemplify and expound upon those same assets. For example, “God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body” (1 Corinthians 12:18-20). It is understood, that we as Christians are the Body, but there are many parts that make up the body (sisters and brothers). We live to seek to honor the Lord because of what he did to honor us and give us life on His green Earth. We build teams from the principles of the gospel, and as long as we continue to build a foundation of teams from that basis, we shall prosper. We will continue to see growth in our effectiveness manifest in ways we could never imagine. We has Christians, servant leaders, and His children must always say His name and praise the Lord for assembling us as “His Body”. We have the grace and privilege of
In Chapter 7, we learned that if power and jobs are shared in small groups, rather than one person holding all of the power and responsibility, leadership can be shared, decisions can be made as a team, and groups may end up feeling more satisfied. As designated leaders are known from the start, others may emerge and use their power or ability to lead the group as well. This being said, it may be each group member’s responsibility to act in ways that will lead the team to success. With each group member having the ability to act as leader, groups members should use behavior that inspires the team to do their best. According to our textbook, leaders can be effective by promoting diversity, including all members, and not perceiving anyone as
In the book authored by, Hugh Whelchel, How then Should We Work? The author discusses how Christians should work in all avenues while serving God. How their work and the manner in which they perceive their job/career in scripture has a rich biblical meaning. The issue this paper will focus on is a key theme in Christians idea of work along with how this vocational calling affects the secular workforce.

In developing this paper on leadership, I examined what was most important to me as a leader. As I reflected on my leadership philosophy, I thought about my experiences and the principals that I have learned through my own self-discovery and the observation of other leaders that I have had throughout my life. My leadership philosophy paper will focus on what leadership is to me, core values, and knowledge of others. In thinking about my definition of leadership, I thought of what was most important to me in and as a leader.
The aim of the unit is for students to develop effective leadership skills and embrace aspects of their cultural identity in order to have a greater understanding of diversity and the importance of positive leadership in team situations. The achievement standard that best suits our unit and directly corresponds with our achievement objectives and aims for learning is level 3 AS91505 3.8. The purpose of this standard is to ‘Examine contemporary leadership principles applied in physical activity contexts’. This relates to our unit of work as students develop knowledge, understanding and skills around leadership strategies and the influence these have on their participation in the planning and implementation of activities within a cultural day. The achievement objective allows students to examine and reflect on the leadership principles that they have embodied throughout the lessons during the unit of work.
Introduction Team leadership encompasses many things. It may seem like a simple and small task, but in a real sense, it is complex and comes with responsibilities, and commonly, it determines the success of any team or a group. However, the value of teamwork should not be overemphasized considering that all organizations need individuals and personnel who are willing to share ideas, listen to others and contribute to the problem solving of any given group or a company. Team leaders should have the ability, authority, and power to analyze data and information with a team of people with a common aim and objective as well as issues. The leader should understand the dynamic patterns, the connections and relations between paramount factors in these objectives, aims and issues that help in the analysis process.
When the team’s performance expectations are met, there should be rewards and recognitions so as to encourage them to continue their great performance. Nonetheless, since performance is link to remunerations, team members might feel competitive and hence resort to unethical ways in order to achieve their targets. Alternatively, attending leadership training to improve leadership skills and to upgrade the current skills can be done. With that, the manager will have the knowledge on how to communicate, guide and motivate his team to achieve their goals.
Leadership has been defined in a variety of ways, there are multiple authors and theorists who have tried to define and understand leadership, all leading to varying theories and conclusions, but one thing that is universally understood is the importance of effective leadership and how someone with good leadership skills can impact so many people around them. (Kakabadse and Kakabadse, 1999; Yukl, 2002; Northouse,2013) The main components that have been identified to play a role in leadership are relations between leader and subordinates, interaction form between leader and followers, the influence that the leader has, the way in which the leader behaves and finally a leader’s traits. (Yukl, 2002) These elements that make up a leader, are then used as building blocks to identify the way in which each specific leader deals with its followers.
In fact, leadership is an art rather than a science. The process of learning leadership is a hand-on experience, which focuses on practice instead of concepts itself. This course provides me a chance to gain more insight about leadership and it helps me develop my new image of leadership. Meanwhile, I also use the theories in our textbook as a framework for self-assessment of my leadership skills and try to develop my own leadership style during the
