Meetings can be fun...

We just wrapped up our semester with evaluation of the Fall and planning for the Spring. One of the things that has really been great for us at Chico is calendaring the semester together, and putting on the calendar events that are key to building our movement--key socials, prayer days, etc. An unexpected suprise/benefit of this is the amount of ownership and excitement it fosters in the team. It does seem that ownership is one of the key ingredients in a succesful team, but is often hard to get the team owning the whole movement, as opposed to just their part. It seems like as we have done this type of semester calendaring together, the team has really felt bought in and owners of the whole, not just their part. I know that this is only one part of the equation, and certainly not meant to be the answer to anything, but it has really benefitted our staff and movement here at Chico.
