Doing Church as a Team

I am just starting to read that book, and I've got Barna's "The Power of Team Leadership" on the "right after I finish reading this one" list. What is a team? What makes a team truly a team? What are the differences between teams and committees and task forces? How does one choose effective team leadership? I'm open to dialogue on this...any takers?

A somewhat simplistic comparison between a committee and a team is that a team "works" and a committee "meets". Jesus' analogy of us being the body of christ exemplifies the ultimate team. Each part needs the other parts to accomplish the goal. He also showed us how to be an effective leader by humbly leading by example.
