Seven keys to a dynamic team

Defining Team

A team can take many forms—family, staff, board, or class group—but the principles of a dynamic team remain the same. At the core are seven keys: Prayer, which aligns hearts and missions with God; Permission, granting teammates freedom to be themselves; Partnership, where strengths and weaknesses balance; Protection, defending each other against criticism; Promotion, celebrating one another's work; Praise, affirming one another’s contributions; and more Prayer, as the foundation and fuel for all. Like the body of Christ described in 1 Corinthians 12, each member matters. A team that lives these values reflects God’s heart and thrives in unity.
