A Style of Influence personality profile can improve your team communication and provide a deeper understanding of yourself and others.

No group ever complained that their team communication was too good!

In fact, most of the workplace interpersonal conflicts you may have seen or been part of are likely the results of relationships between people who simply do not have an appreciation for the personality profile or strengths of their coworker.

We all have a style of influence – a way that we prefer to deal with information, emotions, goals, or details – and when we experience difficulties with another person it may simply be a symptom of having a different personality profile.

In virtually every aspect of your life, you can find examples of the importance of teamwork.

But teamwork is built on team trust, and that trust is supported and established like the seat of a three legged stool – by three important supporting elements.

The absence or weakness of any of the legs on a stool would cause the stool to fall – or at the least provide a much less comfortable and solid foundation for the seat.  The three legged stool metaphor is similar to team trust resting on separate but equally important “legs.”

And whether you acknowledge it or not, most every interaction you have is an invitation to participate in good or bad teamwork.

What is your motivation?

Why do you lace up your shoes in the morning?

One of the things every great performer does to improve performance, regardless of their field, is find their why.

Imagine I told you about a hidden a suitcase full of cash across town was filled with 800,000 dollars.  If I told where it was located, and that you could have the cash if you were able to get to the suitcase in the next three hours… could you find a way to get there?

Whether it is heard in athletics, business, or even academics, the notion that nice guys cannot lead or finish first has become commonplace.

Too many people subscribe to the old saying, “nice guys always finish last.”

As quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons, Matt Ryan has become known as a “nice guy,” and that has led a number of football fans in Atlanta to question his ability to lead.

They don’t believe a nice guy can finish first.

The integration of technology into the hands of our students has been a topic of much discussion, but it will never replace the importance of teacher teamwork or the environment that a quality classroom provides.

Whether by laptops, I-pads, smart-boards, or smart phones, your classroom has in all likelihood already been invaded by technology.  And that is not a bad thing.

While, as a teacher, you may marvel at the capabilities these tools bring to your classroom, technology is still just exactly that – simply a collection of shiny new tools.

Still, it is true that the right tools can make any job easier.

There are certainly many other Bible verses that could be discussed as relating to great teamwork, but this list identifies five that are strong and inspiring examples for the topic.

Improving organizational teamwork is the goal of most teambuilding activities, and like most any other subject, the Bible provides wisdom about how to achieve it and why it is important.

In the Bible, though, the teamwork that is mentioned is not the goal...

Great teamwork is instead described as the visible illustration of a people who are united with the same purpose.   And, ultimately, that is what your organization should be seeking to build – a culture of many people who are united in working for the same cause.
