The Greatest Leadership Myth in the world today: INDIVIDUALS

accomplish great things.

Nothing of SIGNIFICANCE has ever been achieved by an INDIVIDUAL

acting alone.

Below the surface, what seem like SOLO ACTS, are always TEAM

EFFORTS.

MYTH: INDIVIDUALS accomplish great things.

TRUTH: TEAMS accomplish great things.

“It takes 10 hands to score a basket.”—John Wooden

You can’t accomplish anything of SIGNIFICANCE without a TEAM.

Luke 6:12-13 One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and

spent the night praying to God.   When morning came, he called his disciples to

him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles:

3 Leadership Lessons From Jesus On Teamwork

1. Very few things are as IMPORTANT as the TEAM you SURROUND

YOURSELF with.

Vision Caster, Theologian, Teacher/Communicator, Manager, Teambuilder,

Creative, Writer, Recruiter, Conflict Arbitrator, Musician, Counselor, Financial

Expert, Construction, Real Estate, Audio/Visual, Graphic Design, (know

everything about) Kids, Students, College, Adults, Special Needs, Seniors, Food

Service, Funerals, Weddings, Social Media, Marketing, Crisis Management,

Human Resources, Legal, Web Design, Development, Security

God’s DREAM for you will be determined by the STRENGTH of the TEAM

around you.

2. When choosing a team, prioritize TEAMWORK over TALENT every time.

Luke 6:14-16 Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John,

Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was

called the Zealot, Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Acts 4:13   When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they

were unschooled, ordinary men…

“Talent wins games, teamwork wins championships.”—Michael Jordan

Acts 4:13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were

unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men

had been with Jesus.

3. Jesus prioritized INVESTING IN and EMPOWERING His team.

Matthew 10:1 Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them authority

to cast out evil spirits and to heal every kind of disease and illness.

AUTHORITY—the power or right to make decisions.

If you want things done RIGHT, you have to do it YOURSELF

“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you don’t care who gets the

credit.”—Harry Truman

You can’t accomplish anything of significance without a TEAM.
