Finding the right team

Often in sports, managers and coaches build their teams around their most talented players. They even go as far as building their offensive and defenses in order to allow their franchise player to have the freedom to operate in their strengths. Sometimes, after being loyal to the organization for many years, it become obvious that the chances of them winning a championship is very slim and the find another team to join. Many athletes join team know that they will not be the star or will have to play for less money. But all they car about is reaching the person goal they have set for themselves. As a leader, it is important to know you role. You may be a star and the organization you work for has built their program around your gifts but sometimes that doesn't guarantee that goal is being reached. Some of us are simple satisfied with just having a good team...doing alright but never really reaching a place where you are performing at the highest level. As in sports, many times a player becomes better when they finally learn how to discover the gifts of those around them and sacrifice there stats for the good of the team. How many of us are willing to do that? On a practical level. Are we will to preach less, talk less, or plan less? Are we willing to step down and allow others to do things that we have not control over? How much confidence do we have in our team? How much do they have in us? Because sometimes its better to work for the team you have been given that be traded just so you can keep control. The right team is where God wants you to be. Where ever He sends you, is where He wants you to be. We just have to decided if we want to be the star or win a championship.
