Team Effort

A team effort brings benefits to everyone on the team. US President Lyndon Johnson said, “There are no problems we cannot solve together, and very few that we can solve by ourselves.” Here are ten steps you should take when you invest in your team.

1. Make a decision you are going to build the best team ever.
2. When you start gathering your team, look for the brightest, smartest people. You want to gather people that are your level and above.
3. Put in the effort and time to build the team. Have them attend seminars, read books, listen to books on CD and watch DVDs to sharpen their skills.
4. Do things together as a team. Do a pizza and movie night or go do zip lines. Mountain biking, road trips are fun too.
5. Give each team member responsibility and authority. Give them the goal and let them figure out the way to accomplish it.
6. Give credit for success to the team. Always give praise in public and constructive criticism in private.
7. Monitor the team. Make sure your investment is paying off. If not, first do a check-up from the neck up and ask, “What can I do better or change that’s best for the team?”
8. Do not invest time into team members that are not growing. Spend 80% of your time with the people that are growing and making things happen. If you've got to drag someone into your business, you’re going to have to drag them in the business.
9. Always be creating new opportunities for the team. When we meet our goals, we get complacent. Always have new goals for your team once they have met their current goals.
10. Help the team succeed. Your job is to be their cheerleader and provide them tools and resources for them to be prosperous.
