Team members who are not genuinely open with one another about their mistakes and weaknesses make it impossible to build a foundation for trust.

The vast majority of organizations today have more than enough intelligence, experience and knowledge to be successful. What they lack is organizational health.

Trust is the foundation of real teamwork (there is nothing touchy-feely about this).

If everything is important, then nothing is.

Organizational health is the single greatest competitive advantage in any business.

Trust is the foundation of real teamwork. And so the first dysfunction is a failure on the part of team members to understand and open up to one another. And if that sounds touchy-feely, let me explain, because there is nothing soft about it. It is an absolutely critical part of building a team. In fact, it’s probably the most critical.

It is dangerous if our identity as a leader becomes more important than our identity as a child of God.
