Customer Appreciation: Building Your T.E.A.M.

Team stands for "Together Everyone Achieves More." Michael Jordan said, "Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships." Jordan played ball for Carolina and went on to be one of, if not the best basketball player in the NBA. What was different about Jordan? The times I watch him play, he was a good tempered player and motivated his team through words and actions. A team player does what's best for the team. The attention is off the leader and on the team.

When there is too much attention on the dream of winning a Championship or building a big multi-level networking business, this can cause the team to lose sight of today and be over confident. Jordan said "Just think about the basketball game. If you start to think about who is going to win the championship, you've lost your focus."

John Maxwell, in "The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork" says, "If you want to build and grow your team, make sure your motives are right and not on yourself." Are you building this team to benefit yourself? Create a sense of community? Build an organization? If your desire comes from doing only one of the above, more than likely we need to examine our motives. If your desire is to do all the above, then you want to add value to the team and that's what it's all about.
