So I'm trying to write more often it's not that I don't have plenty to say. More like I don't type as fast as my thoughts. I think I'll just ramble on day by day until I hit on something interesting. Oh here's something! So I'm on a new team at church and we've been given an assignment that involves reading/studying to become an effective leader. I'd like to be excited about it yet I find it difficult because when working with a lot of personalities the cause can become clouded. I believe that when you come onto a new project you have to be open minded if you come into it with your own personal agenda it is no longer a "team" effort. It becomes "my" project with my workers creating my vision. Which is usually what happens in a church setting. I think that everyone has at least one good idea and each person should have that one idea heard and if not used in this project recorded and implemented in another.
Off topic: I find that people take silence as a lack of confidence or fortitude. I find that when you observe you learn a lot. When you take you time to make decisions you tend not to have to make them more than once. You also expend less energy. Why is it that people like you "but" they want you to be more like them? I don't have a problem with my personality because I spend time with myself and work on the things that "I" would like to improve upon. NEWSFLASH!! We are not all supposed to be the same...BORING!!
Back to topic: On a team each member is given something to focus on and as they focus on their part they can be pulled in to help another member. I was a power forward on my high school and college teams. I could not win without my team no matter how hard I tried. When the point guard moved up so did I to cover that spot still having my eye on the ball (project goal) and my position at all times. Once every person on the team knows what their position on the team is and what's expected things tend to go smoothly. We'll see I'll keep you posted...
