Below are a couple of concepts to begin guiding your thoughts on developing this paper:
Wheelan (2020) suggests that effective teams must begin with a supportive organizational culture. What is the significance of this? What other factors are essential in creating highly effective teams?
Jennings and Stahl-wert (2016) assert that run to great purpose is the foundation and first step in being a serving leader. What relevance and application would this have in creating and sustaining a highly effective team? In what ways would this advance Gods purpose?
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace. (1 Peter 4:10)
Conduct additional research on highly effective teams to assess trends or conflicting thoughts in this field of study.
