Empowerment Leadership Model for Small Groups, Teams, & Families
Course Two

Course Two will help you understand what a truly healthy, top-functioning group, team or family can do.  Most groups cannot do all of these tasks well.  Many groups do not even know that these tasks are necessary.

Successful  leadership helps the group, team, or family be able to do these things.

                                THE TASKS OF A SUCCESSFUL
                                 TEAM OR SMALL GROUP

     Functional Tasks:

               1.  Starting off correctly  (the most critical and most overlooked)

               2.  Getting started working on the team’s purpose

               3.  Keeping on (persevering) working on the team’s purpose

               4.  Possibly redefining the team’s purpose

               5.  Ending the team experience, if applicable

     Spiritual Tasks:  (will be covered  in Course 6)

               1.  Obeying God throughout all other tasks

               2.  As needed and required, do the Togethers of Scripture
