Note from Coach Mario-\u00a0 At the End of the Day- ” A Strong Team”<\/p>\n
A critical pillar of leadership is the competency, Build Strong Teams.\u00a0 It is normal to begin building a strong team with individuals that you trust and believe have character and competence.\u00a0 Having the right people around you can allow you to be the best leader possible.\u00a0 I recently heard an interview with Paul McCartney who said of The Beatles when asked what made them who they were and became.\u00a0 His answer was “…we were a unit.”\u00a0 They got along\u00a0 (not just during gigs, but in between gigs) and depended on each other.\u00a0 Having strong individuals on your team does not automatically mean you have built a strong team.\u00a0 It likely means you have talented, accomplished individuals.\u00a0 Undoubtedly, of the Fab Four, two of the four, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, were strong individuals (and arguably the likely leaders) of\u00a0The Beatles.\u00a0 How they functioned as John, Paul, George and Ringo together, however, was the key to sustained success as The Beatles.\u00a0 As the leader of the band, ask yourself do the individuals on your team function as a solo act (indifferent to others) or maybe a duet (cliquish) when the entire team is needed to “make the hits.”\u00a0 Recently I worked with a sales executive who reflected on a team covenant (a promise that\u00a0binds each team member)\u00a0that his team had just created and the executive observed that what was in the covenant had nothing to do with selling but instead on the relationships and how they promised to get along, encourage and support each other.\u00a0 The following is illustrative of what was in the covenant:<\/p>\n
We Promise to …<\/p>\n
A strong team is rooted in a sincere and solid foundation of positive relationships with each team member when working together internally and unified when representing the team externally.\u00a0 Whether your team is selling services, copy, physical products or albums, it will be seen and its actions observed as a strong team, with a better chance of producing hits, if their efforts are performed in harmony as ” a unit.”<\/p>\n
