This document discusses building a healthy functioning team. It provides insights from various authors on the characteristics of effective teams, including being willing to explore ideas and committed to a shared vision, working through conflicts with love, and guarding team relationships. The document also examines Patrick Lencioni's model for a functional team, which identifies five key criteria: trust, engaging in healthy conflict, commitment to a shared vision, accountability, and focus on results. Team members are encouraged to mind map how each criteria could be demonstrated in practice with biblical support. The closing reflection questions how leaders can apply lessons on healthy team functioning to their own ministries.

- Review of further research: Patrick Lencioni’s model for a functional team.
- The five criterion for a healthy functioning team are (1) shows presence of trust; (2) engages healthy conflict; (3) commits to vision; (4) hold to accountability and (5) focuses on results. All these criterion need to be present among team members for healthy team functioning, although these criterion develop at different rates. The process is very fluid due to the nature of the interaction of the human spirit with the external environment. Further, with the addition of each new team member, they dynamics can change.

The team is the Church, and thus, is sent for the purpose of mission (Matt 28:19; Acts 1:8).APPLICATION:Shows Presence of TrustLencioni states that trusting teams “(1) admit weaknesses and mistakes; (2) ask for help; (3) Accept questions and input about their areas of responsibility; (4) giving each other benefit of the doubt; (5) take risks for feedback and assistance; (6) appreciate and tap into each other’s skills and experiences; (7) Focus time and energy on important issues, not politics; (8) offer and accept apologies without hesitation and (9) look forward to meetings and other opportunities to work in a group” (2002, p. 197).Orthopraxy Forgiveness (Eph 4:12)Edify one another (Rom 14:19)Pray for each other (Jas 5:16)Restores (Gal 6:1-3)Three-fold cord (Eccl 4:12)Engages Healthy ConflictIn terms of engaging in healthy conflict “(1) have lively, interesting meetings; (2) extract and exploit the ideas of all team members; (3) Solve real problems quickly; (4) minimize politics and (5) put critical topics on the table for discussion” (2002, p. 204).Orthopraxy To heads are better than one (Eccl 4:12)Quick to listen, slow to judge and slow to anger (Jas 1:19)Be a peacemaker (Matt 5:9)Communicate love (John 13:34)Commits to the VisionAccording to Lencioni, a team that commits “(1) creates clarity around direction and priorities; (2) aligns the entire team around common objectives; (3) develops an ability to learn from mistakes; (4) moves forward without hesitation; (5) and changes direction without hesitation or guilt” (2002, p. 209).OrthopraxyUnity to vision (Eph 4:13; Phil 2:2)Learning culture (2 Cor 2:2)AccountabilityLencioni states that when a team is accountable, it “(1) ensures that poor performers feel pressure to improve; (2) identifies potential problems quickly by questioning one another’s approaches without hesitation; (3) establishing respect among team members who are held to the same high standards and (4) avoids excessive bureaucracy around performance management and corrective action” (2002, p. 214).OrthopraxyTouch not my anointed (Ps 105:15)Do not slander (Jas 4:11)Bear one another’s burdens (Gal 6:2)Focused on ResultsThe last criterion for a functional team is focused on results, which includes (1) retains achievement oriented employees; (2) minimizes individualistic behavior; (3) benefits from individual who subjugate their own goals/interests for the good of the team and (4) avoids distractions (2002, p. 218).OrthopraxyThink of mission as a verb (Matt 28:19; Acts 1:8)
