Hi There,
In my book You Are the Team, I write about the importance of teams working from the inside out. I don't say it exactly like that, but that's the theme of the book. Teammates have to change before the team will change.
I came across the following somewhat humorous story the other day...
A Buddhist monk stops at a newsstand to purchase a newspaper. He hands the proprietor a $10 bill. After waiting a moment, he says, "May I have my change?" to which the vendor answers, "Change comes from within."
For every member of your team, change comes from within as well. Teammates have to work from the inside out for teams to be successful.
When teammates start working on being more selfless, trustworthy, humble, positive, respectful and great, teams transform into something really special.
When your team is transforming and is in sync and moving together, leading your team won’t feel like work, it will feel like family. And your team will literally lead themselves.
With a team that is functioning like this, it’s easy to be a leader.
Have you shared You Are the Team with your team yet? Have you started working on the concepts in the book? I would love to hear how it's going. Please send me a note at mike@rogersmike.com
Note: In the next little while I will be launching some training that will help you apply each of the concepts from the book in a very systematic and practical way. Stay tuned :) |
