2 Critical Needs For Building a Healthy Team in Your Organization

With the process of inviting our staff to evaluate my leadership two things that need improvement in our organization were clearly evident.   My current thought is that these two things apply to every organization that desires to function effectively as a team.

Communication
We need the flow of communication between all areas of ministry, all employees, from the top down and from the bottom up to improve.  Our staff is requesting it and I agree with them that it is vital to our continued success and growth.

Understanding Personality Differences
We are incredibly different as a staff. We have extremely diverse learning styles, listening skills, organizational aptitudes, and relationship expectations.  Understanding each other and what we expect from each other is crucial to building a healthy team.

How does your organization do in these two areas?  How is your organization developing and improving these two areas? I’d love to learn from your experiences.
