Today our staff (there are eleven of us) did a off-site/one-day-retreat kind of thing. The only reason I mention this is to make a suggestion to you. We brought in someone to lead us through the Myers Briggs personality type indicator so we could learn more about ourselves and each other. That is a great team-building exercise and I recommend it.
But here's my real suggestion. The person we brought in to lead it was Ben Arment. In addition to being a trained/licensed Myers Briggs instructor, Ben is (1) a church planter, and (2) an awesome guy who has a real heart for God and lost people. It is very cool to be taught something really helpful, but even more to have it taught by someone who understands what life is like working in a new church.
So, I have no idea if Ben would be willing to come and do something with your staff and leaders, but if he would, I would totally do that if I were you!

I'll definitely keep this on in mind! Thanks!
I really liked Strength Finders too! I thought it was accurate and the data for working on strengths and improving weaknesses in many of the books is great. Not too sure about who is training on this in the church world. I know that Londen Institute makes it part of their curriculum and you write a paper on each strength for each class that you do.
And your profile was???
