Keep your team from snoozing during meetings and give them a purpose! I find that many team members don’t really know the team purpose and goals. This seems obvious for many leaders. This basic idea is missing from some company’s communication which causes a lot of conflict in the workplace.
Here is an important question to ask…
Will teamwork bring in more clients and keep the ones you’ve got? Yes! An empowered team can do what others thought was impossible.
Strong team members:
1. Can describe a common purpose.
2. Are clear about the team goals.
3. Understand individual roles.
4. Are committed to team goals.
Ask your team to describe the 4 statements and see if your company is clear on describing it’s goals. If not, you can start discussing the answers at your next meeting. Let me know how you communicate these important messages to your team.
