Definitions • Art of Team Building • NP suggestion to engage all members • Is it an Art or Science ? • Art : human creative skill or its application • Science : • An organised body of knowledge on a subject • Skilful technique rather than strength or natural ability • Art = Natural Skills; Science = Technical Skills Andy Sam : The Art of Team Building

Why do we need a Team ? • To get work done; achieve an objective • Where the work is too much for one person • Where the work is constrained by resources; time, people, money especially • To secure buy in or support ‘cos of future impact on stakeholders • Other : creating esprit de corps, facilitate communication, Andy Sam : The Art of Team Building

8. Jesus’ Approach • The Law of Legacy • Leader’s lasting value is measured by Succession • Anyone can achieve momentary success • Leaders who leave a legacy lead with tomorrow as well as today in mind • Achievement = ability to do great things for self • Success = empower others to do great things • Significance = develop leaders to do great things • Legacy = Organisation does great things w/o him • Succession ! Succession !! Succession !!! Andy Sam : The Art of Team Building

9. Legacy ≥ Inheritance • Leaving Legacy is important than inheritance • Everyone wants to be remembered by something • Souvenirs; Trophies; Legacies (gift to next generation) • Jesus’ Legacy • A disservice to dwell on miracles & teaching • To create His Legacy • 3 years; strategic prep; HS promise; Great Commission • Gospel was His Message; Legacy was His Method • Spread of Gospel is due to training of the 12 (Succession) Andy Sam : The Art of Team Building

10. Legacies are not left by Accident • How do you want to be remembered • Judged by History or Live Your Eulogy (Covey) • Be strategic and intentional (Jn 15:9-17; Lk 14: 26-29) • Preparing The Way • Decide ahead what you are willing to give up • Take initiative to start the process; Fight for it • Know your goals with each person • Prepare to pass the baton well Andy Sam : The Art of Team Building

11. Leaders deposit their legacy in people • Mk 3:13-14 “called, appt 12 apostles, with Him..to send out to preach” • To change the world forever what will you do? • Build library, business, university??? • Jesus did this task w/o writing books, schools • Men were his Method (make u fishers of men) • Lasting success calls for successors • Converts → Followers → ADD • Disciples → Leaders → MULTIPLY Andy Sam : The Art of Team Building

12. Jesus’ Method and Practice • Instruction • Jesus’ Teaching = ≥50% of gospel • Parables (masses); rebuke (Pharisees); Instruction (Disciples : Mk 4: 11-12 Sower mystery revealed) • Demonstration • He shared His life : Come/See/Follow/Beside me • Experience • OJT: sent out 12 and 70 (Lk 9 & 10) • Assessment : Corporate (Lk 10) & Individual (Mt 26) Andy Sam : The Art of Team Building

13. Leader’s Legacy : toughest job, deepest joy • John 14:12 “faith in me ..do greater things” • Many things need to go right to create legacy • Finding the right leaders • Skills audit ?; competencies (spiritual & secular) ?? • Providing an effective development process • Instruction; Demonstration; Experience; Assessment • Needs buy-in of the people • Satisfy some need in them to make them effective • Needs the favor of God • Sine qua non (indispensable qualification) • Need to let go and let happen Andy Sam : The Art of Team Building

14. Focus, response & Result • Gather Followers & Leave • Followers & they Stay • Develop Leaders & Leave • Leaders & they Stay • Leaders of Leaders; Stay, Develop Others • Handover to Leaders of Leaders who Lead Well • No one’s success • My Limited Success • Someone’s Success • Our Mutual Success • Organisation’s Success • Legacy of Success for All Andy Sam : The Art of Team Building

15. Conclusions • Are you so focused about succeeding today that there is no thought about any long-term contribution you could make? • If God has given you a vision for something that will outlive you, are you willing to pay the price for it ? • A legacy is a dream that changes not only your life but also the lives of all the people it touches Andy Sam : The Art of Team Building

16. Exercise on Legacy • To leave a legacy and not souvenirs/trophies • List what you are willing to give up for your legacy • Describe how you will take the initiative to start the process • List the people you will develop, and note your goals with each person • Describe what it will mean to pass the baton Andy Sam : The Art of Team Building
