I found that the Team Spirit process focuses energy in a way that supports the diversity of individuals at the same time that it creates a synergistic team. The spiral of vitality enkindled by the integrative process touches strings of motivation that have previously lain dormant. The paradigm shift is that team members want to BE involved in new ways that exercise their spirit, create new levels of service, and achieve exceptional results. Team Spirit involves each memeber in a way that builds upon this belief. The initiating phase of this process for working together fosters a deep sense of trust, belonging, and connectedness among team members.
Individual motivation is stirred in the spirit by feelings of being valued, respected and wanted.
Visioning enables each member to reach into their secret thoughts of success and then blend them with others' dreams to create unparalleled Service. The Claiming phase encourages each team member to have the personal joy of accomplishment. Those issues take time and energy and just never seem to get resolved. Team Spirit once again shifted my thinking. The Letting Go phase emphasizes the importance of each individual's communicating with authenticity and forthrightness, especially with respect to disappointments, frustrations or conflicts.
