People need to be connected with each other in order for them to feel comfortable and most importantly the leader needs to connect with them both inside and outside of the group.

Making the connection is more than just introductions. I think being the team leader is being observant enough to help people participate, keep the conversation flowing, and making sure the topic remains focused. Too often, these things are lacking in a small group because the leader is unable to guide the group in a productive way.

The team Leader is to make sure the team is connected with one another .in understanding one another with ,what’s going on and in agreement with one another that’s connection.

To me, a connection means that you are involved in each other’s lives and show each other that you truly care. This connection is deepened by time spent together, serving each other, praying for each other, living life together.

By “connection,” Deb McCormick means the relational bond and sense of belonging that members of a small group should feel towards each other. This connection is essential for fostering open communication, trust, and engagement within the group. When members feel connected, they are more likely to share insights, support one another, and actively participate in discussions. The team leader’s role is to facilitate this sense of connection, creating an environment where individuals feel valued and integrated into the group, ultimately leading to a more dynamic and effective team.
