The Team Leadership Podcast Newbreed Training

It's been a great second season for the Team Leadership Podcast, but it's time to take a break to prepare for the next one. Peyton, Andrea, and Barry are taking a short hiatus to rest, plan, and pave the way for another round of episodes with the Team Leadership Podcast. Sit tight and we'll be uploading more episodes soon.

In recent years, bullying and callused leadership has gotten the spotlight, but is it possible to swing the pendulum too far in the other direction? Can leaders be too nice? Peyton and Barry think so! You still need to be able to handle conflict and the difficulties of people who are still being transformed into the image of Jesus.

When we stray too far into being people-oriented, we run the risk of dysfunction and not getting enough done through our organizations. Yet if we go too far towards being task-oriented, our team members end up just being numbers that show up for work. We use people to accomplish tasks. But why do we think that being task-oriented and people-oriented are at odds? Peyton and Barry believe that we need to value people and still get tasks done. The best way to do this is through investing in people to develop them, which allows them to work most efficiently and the organization thrives. Listen in to learn more.

Without innovation and creativity, a church will die because it will fail to keep up with a changing world. Even though God doesn't change, the way his church interacts with the rest of the world does need to at some level. Together, Peyton, Andrea, and Barry talk about how to remove obstacles and fear from team dynamics that make it difficult for people to bring forward and pursue new ideas.

Discipleship isn't just about personally following Jesus, it's both relational and interactive. Everyone on your team should be discipled and discipling others - that's how you can begin to catalyze a culture of discipleship in your church. So in this episode, Peyton Jones flies solo and talks about how to disciple others well in the context of team leadership.

Ministry isn't about using people to acheive your objectives, it's about empowering others and helping them be better so that everyone can fulfill God's mission. Mentoring and coaching then are part of a healthy team and in this episode, Peyton, Andrea, and Barry talk about how to create a culture that facilitates mentoring naturally.
