A fantastic insight on building teams…
“…when leaders do recruit for strength, they all too often pick people who act, think, or behave like themselves, albeit unintentionally in most cases. It’s an age-old dilemma. How is a company supposed to grow, adapt, and change if a domineering CEO continues to pick people who agree with him and who have a similar background and personality?” (Tom Rath)
Key lesson: Try to get team members who don’t necessarily think and do things they way you would.
Thank you Pastor Paolo. Will include this in my TEAM BUILDING SEMINARS.
@malu: pastor joey is good at this. he also cultivates an environment that every idea can be shot down to bring about the best idea. pastor joey’s an awesome leader of our team at the fort.
paul barker just did a teaching here for strength finders. it was pretty good. it was fun watching the people’s reactions when he gave the positive and negative side of each of the strengths/themes.
@patricia. i love paul barker. great insights. he’s here now and learning a lot from him.
Yes, I learned a lot of management skills by observing Ptr. Joey.
Particularly, encouraging differing ideas!
It helps to bear in mind that we are members of one body but different parts. Each with a function.
It takes a strong leader to encourage dissent during meetings.
As long as it is clear that whatever is decided after should be supported by all. 🙂
Wow, this is nice.
Great article! I was searching for something entirely different when I came across your blog. I thoroughly enjoyed the thought you put into this writting. i will bookmark to return later.
