Productive Teamwork

Teamwork is the ultimate competitive advantage for organizations, particularly schools. Ryan draws from examples such as the 1936 University of Washington rowing team, Patrick Lencioni’s Five Dysfunctions of a Team, and Jesus’ leadership of His disciples to illustrate the value of teamwork.

When building a productive team, it is essential to prioritize trust, healthy conflict, commitment, and accountability, while fighting against lack of trust and fear of conflict.

In a healthy, functioning team, a school will experience synergy, unstoppable momentum, and a healthy culture. Most importantly, productive teamwork will maximize a school’s impact for God’s glory.

“Productive Teamwork” was presented by Ryan Miller at CASBI 2025 held at United Christian School in Nappanee, Indiana.
