Two striking differences exist between a secular team and a spiritual team. First, the members of a spiritual team have spiritual gifts unique to the task God has called them to perform. Second, a spiritual team has Jesus as its head. The team leader must operate under the headship of Christ, just as the other team members do. Collectively, the team seeks leadership from the Lord.
Teams respond to change with less threat than individuals feel.
New challenges can be met sooner because team members are willing to accommodate new information or opportunities. Teams promote communication , which often gets bogged down in a more hierarchical structure. Teams develop a shared sense of direction which keeps the organization moving toward the accomplishment of its objectives. Teams develop camaraderie , which helps individuals manage stress and pressures and promotes a sense of well-being. Teams offer motivation, rewards, and support for members.
