Every remarkable mission requires a remarkable team, yet even the best teams face challenges that can hold them back from achieving their goals. In "Team Traps," Tim Foot, President and CEO of Slingshot Group, is joined by leadership coach and author Kadi Cole and Brian Taylor, VP of Worship & Creative Arts, to shed light on the five most common traps that hinder teams from reaching their full potential. By learning to recognize and sidestep these traps, your team can move forward with clarity, confidence, and unity, accomplishing your mission without unnecessary setbacks.
The Challenge: Breaking Free from Team Traps
Whether you’re part of a ministry, business, or any collaborative group, working together often brings unique challenges. These challenges can take the form of misunderstandings, misaligned goals, or even burnout. Team traps are sneaky—they can seem insignificant at first but gradually wear down morale, clarity, and momentum. The good news? Once you identify these traps, they lose their power, allowing you and your team to work together with renewed purpose and alignment.
