Building Healthy Teams
The era of the do-it-all “super-leader” is over. While leading remains a prerequisite to effective ministry oversight, equipping, mentoring, and team building are the means of effective leading. Equipping
involves ensuring that believers gain the capacity and skills to live out their calling. Mentoring involves modelling Christ-likeness, building relationships that encourage and challenge, and helping people take next steps. Team-building focuses on building a strong sense of community and helping people function well together. The legacy of a leader is largely determined by the degree to which that individual effectively equips, mentors, and builds people into a cohesive team.
LDR 533 can be used as a leadership elective to fulfill requirements for the Ministry Foundations Certificate, the MA in Transformational Leadership, the MA Chaplaincy & Spiritual Care, and the Master of Divinity degrees.
