How
to Turn Your Organization's Staff Members Into High-Performance
Teams in Just 21 Days
By Hugh Ballou
If you’re like most business leaders, you
carry a huge work load. You spend hours preparing your production
schedules, presentations, planning, and managing the staff. You
know there are things you would really like to do with your business,
but you just don’t seem to have the time or energy to make
those things happen.
Well, what if I told you that it’s possible
to make those dreams a reality? And what if I also told you the
most powerful tool that you need to make it happen is sitting right
under your nose? You’re even well aware of this tool already.
You know it’s there, but you’ve probably avoided it
– and for some very good reasons.
In fact, when I tell you what this tool is, you’re
probably going to smirk and say, “Yeah, right.” That’s
because this tool is your staff. (If you’re smirking right
now, please keep reading, as you’re about to discover how
teams can help your dreams for your
organization come alive.)
All too often, teams have terrible reputations
for inefficiency – and deservedly so. Our projects regularly
get stagnated in team-centered red tape and inactivity. Inefficient
teams are notorious for wasting time, creating conflict, playing
politics, and fulfilling personal agendas. It’s no wonder
business leaders would rather do the work themselves than to entrust
it to their staff. But it is imperative to remember that there are
only so many hours in a day - and your staff is there to serve your
needs. They just need to learn how!
You can turn it all around and get awesome
results from your staff-based teams. Your teams can learn to:
- Have productive, energized meetings;
- Have a team leader that understands leadership;
- Have a team leader that molds and guides the process;
- Have enough people to get the job done, but not so many that decision-making is difficult;
- Have specific goals and action plans;
- Get most of the work done between meetings;
- Minimize conflict with clear goals, responsibilities, and accountabilities;
Sound impossible? Not only
is it possible, but you can get started right now.
One common weakness of teams is the ever-revolving
door of the team leader. In many teams, this position changes periodically.
And new team leaders often start without the necessary experience
to lead a project, or even successfully conduct a meeting. But you
can turn this weakness into strength with one simple change.
All you have to do is use the change in leadership
as an opportunity. When the new project begins and new leadership
is on board, hold a training session for your leaders. But whatever
you do, don’t call it a training session. Some new leaders
might think they don’t need a “training session.”
So use a word that’s more attractive. Call it a “New
Leader Strategy Session.” After all, you’ll be defining
strategy anyway. And your new leader(s) will feel empowered
and ready to lead effectively. It's up to you to create a leading
mindset for them.
In this strategy session, define the goals for
the team. These goals should be consistent with the business's goals
and long-term strategies. So come prepared. Then work out the processes
needed to reach those goals.
Once you’ve defined the goals and worked
out the processes, choose the right people to do the work. This
is key. In your strategy session, identify the skills needed to
accomplish the goals. If the people on the team don’t process
these skills, then find people who do and ask them to serve.
When people know they’re
needed – and you have clearly defined responsibilities for
them – they will be eager to serve and quick to follow through
on their assignments.
You can’t simply throw people into a team
and expect them to produce awesome results. It just doesn’t
happen that way. Successful business teams require skilled leadership.
Fortunately, you can help your leaders to develop the skills needed
to run highly effective teams.
And now you can learn these skills in just 21
days. Thanks to a new program developed specifically for business
leaders, you can supercharge your teams!
