Team______! You fill in the blank;)

In his article, Tim Moss shares his personal story of being on a winning team as well as pointing to a very successful NBA team. While the goals of the two teams were as different as water and oil, they excelled because each team member brought something of value to the table. They were also successful because both teams had a specific vision and the ambition to accomplish their goals. While the vision may have been entirely different, the way the two teams implemented their strategies and performance were very closely matched. The NBA team was focused on the vision of becoming the NBA champions while Tim’s team focus was to seek, purchase and install a new organ by Easter, a pretty lofty goal for a small church that started the process in January. The key to success in both cases was to get the right people on the team and to work together to achieve a common goal. Tim certainly admits the he is no Michael Jordan, what church out there has a super-star like that? The point is that his team didn’t need the likes of Michael Jordon; they just needed to be committed to the process and committed to each other. Both teams were successful in reaching or achieving their vision, and both teams attribute the accomplishment to hard work and most of all the ability to work as a team. So, the next time you find yourself in a committee meeting and you think that you would much rather be somewhere else, think again. Think about what your dream team might accomplish.
