"Good is done alone. Great is done together."
Alignment:
- How much of a team are you on?
- Who's team is it?
- There are lots of things that we do that aren't part of our position.
- We may not go to lunch and hang out, but you know I have your back.
- We are in this together with a glue of a shared DNA of our staff culture.
- "People love to be helped, people love to help and be needed."
- It comes full circle. We should value and invest in other members of our team.
- Youth ministry is a piece of the global direction fo the church.
- "We communicate our team value what we are willing to be a part of that doesn't have our title attached to it."
- Take your phones off the table during meetings.
- "If I can get your heart then I can get everything else I need."
- #SameTeam say it with me. #SameTeam
- "The relationships are the motivation. Take time for camaraderie. Celebrate each other and together. Celebration is motivation to stay aligned for the next challenge. We don't just move from peak to peak to peak.
- "Alignment is a team concern and not "I hope everyone aligns with me."
- "I remember the moment that I was not a youth pastor but a pastor to those that were leading youth"
Alignment comes from finding ways to humanize our team beyond the title they hold or position or for which they were hired.
