How to build a super-hero team

By Rachel Waddams

Don’t just do business with people – hang with your team, go for meals, let your hair down.

Encourage your team – when was the last time you told your guys they are the best?

Be generous – if your team see that you are generous with them with money, pressies and time, they will do the same. Generosity is brill when you need that favour!

Don’t create clicks in your team –  try to go round them all, try to get them to mix with new people,  let them all feel a million.

Be honest if they let you down – it may sound harsh but if you want hero’s they need to know when they haven’t got it.

Pray for them – and get them to pray for each other. This cements hero’s into saving the city long term.

Have a laugh- humour can sort alot of tiffs and tensions. It’s God’s gift to us serious types. 

Be there for your team – not just at youth stuff but in their lives. Know about their week, their family etc. 

If people leave the hero team to move onto something else – Let them move on with a great hero farewell!

Never think that you are superman or woman – without your team you would be like the guy on Mr sheen adverts (wimpy)!
