Ask

yourself these questions as you are building your team:

Who

gets to be on this team?

Who are

they as leaders?

Do any

of them fix my weaknesses or have I only hired clones of me?

Have I

found a catalyst?Today,

I look at John Maxwell’s thoughts about team building from page 77 of The 17

Indisputable Laws of Teamwork.

 

John

says, “A team needs a catalyst…winning teams have players who make things

happen.” He also notes, “…there are three kinds of people who are on a team

when the game is on the line…”

 

I hope

that as you reflect on the words today that you will take a close look at your

team or the one that you are building. Look closely at John’s comments and

evaluate your choices. Use a magnifying glass and ask yourself if I have hired

people who get things done or am I floundering with people who don’t want the

ball when “the game is on the line.” I have

found John’s words to be more than inspiring, but hauntingly true.

 

I hope

that you will take them to heart in building your team. After all, a team is

put together generally to accomplish some task not to sit back and wish

something would get done or that somebody else would do it.

 

Thanks

for listening!

 

Enjoy!
