The Intelligent Team Program Project

Abstract

Leaders, followers, and teams thrive when team members have relational depth with one another. Authentic and positive relationships are what drive teams to higher performance levels. Globalization, technological advances, and cultural diversity present challenges that can muddy the developmental relationship environment. This document captures the development, implementation, and analysis of a project called The Intelligent Team Program. The Intelligent Team Program Project is a phased program designed to provide participants with Biblically grounded principles and best practices that will facilitate genuine relational development within teams going forward. The program uses experiential learning to deliver content that combines an emotional intelligence assessment, Biblical truth, servant leadership, and emotional social intelligence (ESI). Research on each of the components showed a positive impact on relational development. The Intelligent Team Program Project makes the assertion that the combination of these components creates a synergistic effect that uniquely improves the competencies needed for relational development among team members. The results of the program showed positive improvement amongst all of the project participants as it related to their confidence levels in the five key principles and their three best practices. The results of the project suggest there is opportunity for further formal research on the subject of combining the four components Biblical truth, servant leadership, and ESI delivered through an experiential format.
