A Great Quote on Communication from Bernard Shaw

Thoughts from Joyce

Do you agree with George Bernard Shaw?  People think that they are great multitaskers.  They don’t see how many communication mistakes take place when they are not concentrating on the person right in front of them.  I’m guilty of this also and do what I can to put down the phone when someone is in front of me.  The next time someone accuses you of not listening, agree with them and lift your eyes up.  It’s not rocket science and we all need to improve in this area. It’s ALL generations!   😉

Empower Your Team With These Team-Building Strategies

professional development strategies

  • Do you want to learn new team-building strategies to put to use immediately?
  • Does your team feel empowered?
  • Does everyone feel part of the team?

Empowered teams are easy to spot since they:

  • Have “fire” in their eyes
  • Have fun and are energized
  • Share an entrepreneurial team spirit
  • Hire/fire people
  • Feel united and involved
  • “Cover” for each other
  • Support for each other when colleagues are on vacation

Do you see these characteristics on your team?  If so, you just did a great reality check.  If most of these qualities are missing from your team, you have your work cut out for you.  Please search for more articles on team-building strategies in the search function of this blog.

Watch Oceans 11 to Learn Team-Building Strategies

You will learn all about team-building strategies after watching the movie Oceans 11.  A good hacker, a loose cannon, a suave smooth-talker, a pickpocket, a killer martial arts…team building strategies
Ok so not every team is as exciting as a heist movie rat pack, but you can get pretty close with these ideas.

Have you ever wondered why certain teams succeed?
Changing your team’s status quo is a huge part of the equation.

If you don’t embrace new concepts, your team will become less effective at preventing serious problems, responding quickly to issues as they arise, and providing innovative strategies for increased productivity.

Team Building Strategy #1:  A good team consists of 6 aspects

1. Goal clarity

2. Strong relationships

3. Healthy conflict management

4. Clear role clarity and expectations

5. Procedures that encourage productivity

6. The energy that exists within the team

All 6 of these aspects need to be part of a successful team.

Team Building Strategy #2:  Ask your team for input

I suggest that you take an informal survey by asking your team which aspect is your team’s strength and which one is your team’s weakness.
Make a list of the 6 team-building strategies above and ask your team to rate each one on how they see your team. This simple survey is a great start for some interesting discussions on how to make your team even stronger.  It’s an asset for any leader to listen to the needs and opinions of the entire team.
