In this, the 32nd episode of David´s CALM Leadership series, he continues with last week´s building strong work relationships theme. This time, he is explaining how to hire, hone and retain the right team. He includes tips to help you get the balance right so that you can treat your team members well without undermining your position as their leader.
He starts by reminding us of why we need a team so much. Then, he provides you with a simple method to identify what you need and find the right people to get things done.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- 80% of what you achieve is done with the help or collaboration of other people.
- You can´t achieve much without a team.
- If you are struggling the chances are you are trying to do it with an incomplete team.
- Stop automatically thinking how can I do this? Instead, think who do I need to hire to get it done?
- Even solopreneurs rely on other people to do things for them so that they can deliver their products or services. E.g. a marketing agency.
- Look at your relationships with each team member, rate how strong it is and identify how you can improve things.
- Produce an action plan. It will keep you accountable and make sure things improve, which is good for both of you.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Your team is everyone you need to make it work.’
‘Something has been missing… and that probably isn´t a thing. It’s probably a who.’
‘Find the gaps in the first instance, then, plug them.’
‘Prioritise where you focus your efforts for relationships. ’
ABOUT THE SHOW
People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
