Leading Well: Collaboration

March 21, 2017 By tiffanyfrancis

Collaboration is the action of working with someone to produce or create something. There is always something that needs to be done. Something to be created. Something that needs to happen. And the best way to produce the very best product is with a great team. Check out some tips below about how collaboration can help you get things done.

Stick to the Vision: When there is something to be done, there are always many opinions on how to accomplish it the best way. What is so important is that you and your team understand what is driving you. What is the purpose behind what you are doing? As long as we always keep the main goal, the main goal then the logistics of completing tasks will fall into place.

Use Your Strengths: As you think about the team you work with and those in your ministry who help you to create new ideas, think about their strengths. There are lots of great tools that you can utilize to learn more about your teams’ strengths. You can use Meyers-Briggs or StrengthsFinder to figure out how the people on your team work best. Knowing certain things about your teammates can help you to be more contentious and be more productive.

Communicate Well: One of my leaders once told me, “You can say anything it just depends on how you say it.” That has always stuck with me. When you are leading a team or if you are on a team communication is so very important. And remember that listening is just as important as talking when it comes to communication. Sometimes you have to have difficult conversations, they are needed, but as long as the person you are having the conversation with feels valued, you can say what you need to say. Having an open mind and a listening ear is vital in collaboration.

Our CentriKid Office team loves to collaborate. We talk through many aspects of camp to make sure that we are bringing you the very best that we can. I hope that you can use these tips to collaborate with your team and to continue to strive for excellence.

Iron sharpens iron, and one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17 CSB
