Team Building – Quality Source Inc.

The difference between success and failure can be very subtle. Whatever your endeavor, it requires some sort of team work. Every team requires leadership and vision. Being a good leader doesn’t mean “my way or the highway.” That’s the kind of leader that people won’t willingly follow … and who can blame them! A good leader is a humble “member” of the team … a “participant!”

If you want to be a good leader / mentor, then lead by example. Be the kind of leader that’s a motivator. Roll up your sleeves, dive in and give your team some skin in the game. Stand with them and watch them come to life!

Your reward … employee retention! BOOM!!

With the NBA Finals finally here, and my beloved Cleveland Cavaliers on the ticket, it seemed appropriate to talk about team building. The Golden State Warriors are a formidable opponent and it will all come down to what has lead us to this day … the recruiting and leadership on both teams. Which organization has built the most cohesive and productive team?

When tasked with building and leading a team, here are six ways successful teams are built to last.

1) Be aware of how you work
2) Get to know the rest of the team
3) Clearly define roles and responsibilities
4) Be proactive with feedback
5) Acknowledge and reward
6) Always celebrate success

Here’s an excerpt from a article in Forbes that I found to be particularly powerful: “…team building requires a keen understanding of people, their strengths and what gets them excited to work with others.“

There’s the key … getting people excited to work with you and the team you’re putting together. When you watch LeBron James play, what’s strikingly evident is his sense of team play. Yes, he certainly knows how to step it up on his own, but he’s also extremely good at tapping into the strengths of his team mates! That, in turn, makes his team mates feel valued and appreciated which are two very basic, human needs. This makes LeBron someone that people want to work with.

Take a look at the article linked below. It’s a good read and will definitely give you great ideas on building powerful teams!

May the best team win, as I leave you with this….
