Are you adding value to the team?
One of the TV shows I find quite interesting is called ‘the weakest link’. The game starts by throwing various questions at different members of a team. Any team member that loses two questions in a row leaves the team. He or she is the weak link in that team. After a series of questions, the remaining members of the team will then combat the opposite team. The team that scores more points wins the game.
A team is designed to bring together the best qualities of all its members. This is what makes an excellent team. When members of a team contribute effectively to the goals of the team, they become a stronger force. A three-fold cord cannot be easily broken…, Ecclesiastes 4:12. Our individual traits may be great, but together as a team, it becomes greater. We enjoy the benefits of learning from one another, as iron sharpens iron. One shall chase a thousand and two shall chase ten thousand.
Jesus had a team, made of twelve disciples. They all went fishing for souls. Judas Iscariot was the bookkeeper. When you find yourself in a team, don’t be the weakest link. Put your best foot forward. Contribute your quota. As you receive value, add value to others.
5 ways to add value to your team
– Share knowledge with other members of your team. Knowledge is power.
– Contribute your time, energy, and ideas to support the goals and vision of your team.
– Foster team unity, don’t divide the team. Boost the morale of your team
– Be your brother’s keeper. Check up on members of your team. Be a go-to person. Be that discreet and trustworthy person that others can talk to.
– Respect and encourage other members of your team.
