Since relocating to the Atlanta, Georgia area (Canton, specifically) my family and I have been attending the Northpoint Community Church campus of Watermarke Church. Northpoint was the church we wanted to be a part of, so were glad to find a place to live near one of their campuses.
The church is in a middle of a series entitled ?Future Family? and this past week, Andy touched on the book of Ephesians and that chapter that causes arguments constantly. If you don?t know offhand which one I am talking about, let?s just say it contains the word ?submit.? Now you?ve got it, right?
The core focus of his message however, was far more practical than anything else. He talked about the value of ?mutual submission? within the family and it centered around asking people in your household a simple question:
What can I do to help?
I thought about this and realized it?s impact, not only in our family lives, but in our business roles as well.
One of the things Andy said that really stood out was this:
?You don?t get happy by controlling the people around you.?
Think about that for a moment as it applies to your organization or a team that you lead. Are you getting the results you want from your team by making sure you have complete control over them?
When was the last time you went to a team member or somebody that works for you and said, ?What can I do to help??
If you find a team member is struggling to get a project across the finish line, is it going to be more productive to tell them, ?Get it done or else? or to ask, ?What can I do to help??
Think about the impact you can make upon your team if you took the time to ask, ?Is there anything I can do to help you guys?? from time to time.
Try it.
