TEAMS DON'T JUST HAPPEN

Have you ever stopped to think that, in spite of natural genetics, top class athletes must train regularly and properly, must follow the correct diet, rest etc, and continuously develop the skills necessary for top performance.

A business team is really no different. 

Like the body, a team consists of various parts, its people, each of whom is unique in and of themselves, with individual strengths, skills and abilities that contribute to the functioning of the body, team, as a whole.

Just like the body, a team needs to be worked out, trained on a regular basis, to develop each part, or person, not only to reach their peak, but to work in balance and harmony with the rest of the team. A body, overdeveloped in one area will cause imbalance and possible injury, and, so it is with a team.

Ask yourself, do I have the right people with the right skills in the right places? Could some be used more effectively in different roles? What additional skills are necessary? Do we create the right environment for success?

Remember, high performing teams: work together towards a common goal: have their roles allocated according to their strengths: share in their success: have fun working towards a goal.

How does yours shape up?
