Below are a couple of concepts to begin guiding your thoughts on developing this paper:
Wheelan (2020) suggests that effective teams must begin with a supportive
organizational culture. What is the significance of this? What other factors are essential in
creating highly effective teams?
Jennings and Stahl-wert (2016) assert that run to great purpose is the foundation and
first step in being a serving leader. What relevance and application would this have in
creating and sustaining a highly effective team? In what ways would this advance Gods
purpose?
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied
grace. (1 Peter 4:10)
Conduct additional research on highly effective teams to assess trends or conflicting
thoughts in this field of study.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
