Lions, Otters, Golden Retrievers, and Beavers! All these personality types are represented in your ministry team. The descriptions of the four animals are unique ways to describe a person's God-given strengths and behavioral style. Do you know what type you are? Lions have a God-given need to direct. Otters have a God-given need to interact and verbalize with others. Golden Retrievers have a strong need to serve others. There is comfort for Beavers in a stable and orderly life. The key to building strong, close-knit ministry teams is to learn how to integrate the different personality types. Leveraging on the strengths of each and blending them produces the most effective and efficient use of corporate talent and opportunity. If building strong teams is a river rafting journey, with many unexpected rapids and sharp turns along the way, then John Trent will be your river guide to direct you along the trip. |
