About this Course

What's more important: What churches do or what billion-dollar software companies do?

The answer is simple: The transformative work of the Church will always be more important than the work accomplished in the corporate world. Ministries deal with souls and eternity—so shouldn't our standards be higher than those of the corporate world?

Join Patrick Lencioni, leadership coach and founder of The Table Group, as he unpacks the common dysfunctions that impede the good work of many church teams. He'll dig into the true reasons people don't work well together and how simple strategies can reverse bad habits to develop unstoppable, thriving church teams.

"Building trust in an organization, especially in church staff teams, is the single most important thing leaders should do. We look at trust like this: nothing happens without it, but with it, our teams can accomplish anything. Patrick's course helps in authentic and practical ways that will benefit every leader." — Ben Lagasse (Executive Pastor of Equipping, Redeemer Church)
