On this program Colin invites us to recognize the strengths and weaknesses both moderns and post-moderns bring to a team environment. 

What makes a good team? What disrupts a team? How important are individuals to a team? 

Ingredients for a well functioning team. Teamwork in business and Christian work. How do leaders fit into a team concept? What kind of leaders? 

What kind of expectations and assumptions did you bring to the team? Good teamwork requires that we understand our own, and our coworkers', expectations and assumptions. 

What factors are necessary for a good, smoothly running and effective team? Communication, of course, and commitment. 

Communication ... talking and listening ... is of major importance for an effective team. Confrontation too, but how to do that and keep friends? 

Have you had any good arguments with members of your team? It's not an unusual happening. Conflict, of some form, is inevitable between team members. The real question is ... how do you handle conflict? 

Measuring devices are used to determine the makeup of different personalities. How does this help, or apply in a practical way to the functioning of a team? 

Where two or three or more are gathered together to work on a project you have a team. How do the different gifts and talents and abilities fit into the functioning of a team? 

Every member of a team has a special role to play in that team. What is your role? How do you relate to other members of the team? 

Every member of a team has a special role to play. That's what makes it function well. Then, of course, there is the leader. That is a special role. 

If you are a member of a team, then your team needs preventative maintenance -- in the form of reviews and evaluations at regular intervals.
