Like the rest of us, Jesus sometimes got tired (see\u00a0John\u00a04:6). But He was never stressed out by the job. He was led, but never driven. He knew what needed to be done and the amount of time required to do it, and He picked a team to accomplish it. Three of them\u2014Peter, James, and John\u2014were in His inner circle. It wasn\u2019t that He showed favouritism; He just recognised the particular gifts of the people He worked with and what He needed from each of them to get the job done. An important step towards accomplishing something big is knowing the kinds of people you will need. In other words, you need to know who should be on your team.<\/p>\n
Jesus spent three-and-a-half years training His disciples before delegating responsibility to them. Was He afraid they\u2019d make mistakes, outshine Him, or make Him look bad? No, He told them, \u2018He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.\u2019<\/i> (John\u00a014:12\u00a0NKJV) Jesus was a team player who got things done through others. But even when you break a task down, strategically plan it, and recruit terrific people, you need one more component to succeed: teamwork! Teamwork is the glue that brings people together\u2014and keeps them together. <\/p>\n
There are more than a billion Christians in the world today. And it all started two thousand years ago with one man who had a vision, a man who recruited and trained a team to fulfil that vision. If you\u2019re wise, you will study His work philosophy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
