9. Team Building (Part 2)
If you are a team leader of any kind and want to build a great team there are 4 things to do (INVITE, INSPIRE, INSTILL, & INVEST). In the last episode, we covered INVITE and INSPIRE. In this episode, we talk about the last two - INSTILL and INVEST.
3. INSTILL
Instill culture. The team leader gets to set the atmosphere of the team.
4 ways to instill culture in your team
Be the Example – Culture is caught more than taught. You create culture by BEING culture. Don’t point the way; lead the way. We are thermostats, not thermometers.
Explain their Role - A leader's #1 job is to equip people. People need to know what u are asking them to do. What’s the win? They can’t hit a target that’s not there.
Communicate often – Communicate more often than u think you should.The more you communicate, the more your team will know what to do w/o asking you.
Entrust & Empower - If u want a great team, don’t try to do it all yourself. Give others a chance to shine. It’s ok if they make mistakes; that’s how we learn.
4. INVEST
4 ways to invest in our teams:
- Encourage - Catch them doing something right. EVERYONE works better in an atmosphere of encouragement.
- Listen - Team members need to give their opinion & know it’s been heard. If we don’t listen to what our team members are saying, eventually they’ll stop talking. Let everyone talk, make a decision, then once a decision is made, everyone should get behind it.
- Challenge - Care enough to have difficult conversations. We can’t help people improve by ignoring habitual issues. Don’t complain about things ur not addressing. Having high standards means having to address things when they aren’t met. Giving & receiving feedback is essential on any successful team.
- Care - Let them know u care more about them than what they can do for u.
If you want to build a strong team, there are 4 things to do (INVITE, INSPIRE, INSTILL, & INVEST).1. Invite - Recruit doers, one at a time, share vision not need. 2. Inspire - Communicate the why, Tell Success Stories, be enthusiastic, Believe the Best. 3. INSTILL - Be culture, communicate culture. 4. INVEST - Encourage, Listen, Challenge, Care.
Bottom line: You’re only as good as your team, so build a great one.
