Team Learning

Definition:

• The practice of team members creating dialogue and enter into genuine ‘think together’.

Initial Focus:

• Begin by picturing a Christ-centered spiritual learning center/ church which encourages open dialogue, nurturing and spiritual growth.
• Looking inward and unearthing personal visions in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
• Finding and establishing the common identities which exist among a diversified group of people.
• Moving from ‘their’ organization consciousness to ‘our’ organization consciousness.

What does this process involve?

• Remembering personal mastery is the bedrock for developing shared vision.
• Encouraging the sharing of personal visions, which together build shared vision.
• Remembering that people’s personal visions usually include dimensions that involve families, organizations, community and the world (planet).
• Being careful not to infringe on individual freedom.
