A team is a group of\u00a0people committed to a common purpose<\/strong>
\nwho choose to cooperate in order to achieve exceptional results.<\/strong>

Certainly, when we think\u00a0about \u201cmovements everywhere\u201d and helping to fulfill the Great Commission, the\u00a0need for teams and partnerships is obvious.<\/p>\n

The practical necessity of teams is so clear; yet the\u00a0development of the attitudes that\u00a0support great teamwork is challenging.<\/p>\n

Look at these verses<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Ephesians 4 (NLT) <\/strong>\u201c…<\/em>Always\u00a0be\u00a0humble\u00a0and\u00a0gentle. Be\u00a0patient\u00a0with each <\/em>other,\u00a0making allowance for each other\u2019s faults\u00a0because of your love. Make <\/em>every effort\u00a0to keep yourselves\u00a0united in the Spirit,\u00a0binding yourselves together with <\/em>peace….<\/em>we\u00a0will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like <\/em>Christ,\u00a0who is the head of His body, the church.\u00a0As each part does its own special work, <\/em>it helps the other parts grow,\u00a0so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of <\/em>love.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Philippians 2: 3-4 <\/strong>\u00a0\u201cDo nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but <\/em>in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only <\/em>to your own interests, but also to the\u00a0interests of others.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I Peter 2:17 \u00a0<\/strong>\u201cRespect\u00a0everyone, and love your Christian\u00a0brothers and sisters. Fear God, <\/em>and\u00a0respect the king<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

These are the attitudes that form the basis for cooperation toward a common purpose. Dr. Sue Jones, in her book Developing A Learning\u00a0Culture<\/em>, reinforces these thoughts by identifying three attitudes in leaders that promote learning, leadership and teamwork: humility<\/strong>\u00a0(absence of arrogance) about one\u2019s own knowledge and\u00a0skills,\u00a0respect<\/strong> for others and their\u00a0knowledge and skills, and trust\u00a0<\/strong>in\u00a0others and their abilities.<\/p>\n

These three attitudes are the basis for the ability to:<\/p>\n
