Five Steps To Develop A Better Leadership Team
A good team is always greater than the sum of its parts. A good team of leaders has the potential to accomplish great dreams.
If you have a dream and no dream - the dream is impossible.
If you have a dream and a bad team - the dream is a nightmare.
If you have a dream and are building a team - the dream is possible.
If you have a dream and a good leadership team - the dream is Inevitable.
Leadership teams have the potential for great impact and a high return. To set your team of leaders on the right course, do these five things:
1. Make sure your leaders are in alignment with the vision
First of all, decide what the vision is. what is your mission? Why are you doing what you’re doing? Once you have the vision, you’re able to pass it on to your team and help them see it as well.
You must communicate to help your leaders make the connections between the vision, the team, and their strengths and desires. Clarify their contribution. Help them appreciate others' contributions. Coach and mentor them. I’ll discuss this more in the next chapter. Keep communicating, and find ways to do it creatively and continually.
2. Help your leaders bond and care for one another
Build a culture around love and gratitude. You must be spreading these 2 forms of emotions in your organization daily.
Show appreciation to people in your organization. Develop a trusting team. Caring for others on a team is that it’s crucial to give more than you take. If you care about teammates, you have an emotional connection, a bond with another, you focus on being generous.
Generosity builds community. Allows us to give and receive because we are free from domination by money and game. Generosity also gives us the ability to handle the ups and downs that come to each of us - in ways that have a positive and enduring outcome.
3. Ensure that your leaders are growing together
If you’re on this call and your leaders are not…. they’re missing out on an opportunity to grow. You should’ve planned this out last night that you’d all be on this call today. Go and worship together with your leaders. Set up a day out of the month where you and your leaders go dream building.
See the vision together. Go to the expensive neighbourhoods and look at the houses together. Build that belief and excitement together.
Go to the most expensive restaurants and get the order of the cheapest thing on the menu. That’s the way to Put yourself in that environment. Visualize yourself ordering the most expensive thing on the menu. ‘Feel’ as good as you’d feel if you were there to have the best meal of your life.
One of the best ways to bond team members and give them a brighter future is to make sure they experience growth together.
- Give them a growth environment
- Recognize each other’s growth needs
- Open up opportunities for them to grow
- Walk with them in challenging times
- Help them add value to their teammates
4. Position your leaders to complement and complete each other
Each player must have a place for himself and a purpose beyond himself. The strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.
As a team leader, you need to facilitate the process: help your players find their shooting spot and set them up for success.
- Know what the job requires: for you to be able to position your leaders, you need to know what each position requires. What skills and abilities will be required for your leaders to get the job done?
- Know whose strength fits the job:
If you know leaders well, you know their talents, skills, strengths, and weaknesses. You understand their personalities and temperaments. Now you can make a good judgment call about who best fits each role.
As you position leaders keep these two things in mind: 1. Who can best do each job? 2. How well will leaders work together and complement each other if you put them in those positions?
The interaction of team members impacts the success of the team as much as the effectiveness of the people in their roles.
5. Communicate to your leaders how they are making a difference
Help position them mentally. Most people don’t really see the purpose in their work. They see themselves as an employee with a job description who need to fulfill work assignments.
I suggest you give them a ‘job lift.’ They need to see where the work they do lifts others and makes a difference in the world. That requires a mental shift, not a job change.
As a leader of your team, you have the opportunity to be a job lifter for others. Positioning your leaders means doing more than finding their passions and strengths and placing them in the right roles. You can help them position their minds to think differently about their work.
Encourage them to think more about others and less about themselves, to start their day sowing into others without focusing on reaping a harvest for themselves. Challenge them intentionally to add value to their team members every day.
