Lego team building exercise. We had a team-building exercise involving Lego and limited communication. One person had to find certain blocks in a pile. Another had to delegate and sort those pieces from the plans made by a third person. The final member had to execute in building said plan. All while only the builder could talk. While we were working on the tower the roles shifted, which meant our plans for the tower changed as well. We discovered a need to cooperate and to better communicate our plans. This was something we were able to do near the end of the activity.
The exercise helped to show how all positions on any given team are vital. Even the ones that may seem to carry less weight or voice have an impact on the organization and team. It is important to know your own strengths and the position you are in. But it is also important to know how to communicate to everyone else so that you may. In 1 Corinthians 12:14-20 Paul says:
For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. If all were a single member, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, yet one body.
We all have a part to play in the body of Christ. We all have our purposes, and for the Church as a whole to function properly and to its fullest potential. We must all act in our areas of strength, rather than wishing to work in any area that seems appealing to us.
