Part 2 of 4 in Building a Winning Team
Philippians 2:3 says, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility we should consider others as better than ourselves."
Now this is part 2 of a series of Building a Winning Team.? Back in part 1 we talked about the importance of getting everyone on the same page.
In this segment, we are focused on a very important component of building a winning team-
Principal number two - Submit to our teammates.
Our country's founding fathers built our government around the rights and freedoms of an individual person.?
And even today, most of what we do is designed to enhance the life of the individual - technology, things of convenience, fashion, music etc.?
No other country in the world offers the incredible variety of options and opportunities individuals as America.
Now it’s this "individualism†that can also hinder the development of an effective team.?
To experience high levels of success, we must work well in teams.
So, to build that effective team: To some degree we must put aside our own selfish desires and ambitions.? We need to understand that others around us have strengths and gifts we do not have.

Here are 3 positive team building things you can say:
????? 1.? "You are much better than I am in this area, will you help me?"
????? 2.? "Even though I could probably do it, I would like?you to be in charge of this project."
????? 3.? "Although I am responsible for this department, I would like you to accept the award on behalf of?all those who were a part of it."
How about it?? Can you put aside your own ambitions and desire for personal gain, so that your team can move forward?
When you do this, you will be a Kingdom Factor.?
Application questions:
