“耶和华到如今都帮助我们。”(撒母耳记上7:12)

梦想成真了。非利士人被打败后,约柜作为上帝与祂子民同在最终的象征,从被掳之地带回来,这是值得庆贺的时刻。因此,撒母耳竖立了一座被称为“以便以谢”的纪念碑,意思是“耶和华到如今都帮助我们”。留意“我们”这个词,撒母耳明白到,要成就梦想,需要一个团队。 在《跟耶稣学领导》(Jesus on Leadership)一书中,作者韦基斯(C. Gene Wilkes)讲述了团队工作胜过个人努力的原因:一、团队需要更多的人参与,因此获得比个人更多的资源、构思和活力。二、团队使领袖发挥出最大的潜能,却将个人的弱点减至最小。优点和弱点,在个人的工作中都更容易暴露出来。三、团队能从多个角度去考虑如何满足某种需求或达到目标,从而针对每种情况设计多个备选方案。在处理问题时,个人的洞察力很难像团队那样广泛而深刻。四、团队成员一起分享功劳,共同承担损失。这能够培养真正的谦卑,加强彼此之间的纽带。当个人独享功劳或承担损失时,往往会使他变得自高自大,有时会产生失败感。五、团队让领袖肩负责任。个人不需对任何人负责,所以在目标受到影响或改变时,没有人追究。既然如此,我们为什么不愿意加入团队合作呢?因为建立团队是一项艰巨的工作,而且成员越有才华,团队的建立就越加艰巨。衡量领导者成功与否的真正标准不是让人们工作,也不是让他们努力工作;而是让大家一起努力工作!
