Great Team-building Tips
A GOOD BUSINESS IS THE SUM OF ITS PARTS….AND, OUR FIRST CUSTOMERS ARE OUR STAFF AND TEAM MEMBERS.
by Irene Becker , Chief Success Officer, Just Coach It,
The most effective members of a team are those individuals who can accept both their strengths and weaknesses. When we can get a clear optic of where we excel and where there is need for improvement we are ready to develop proactive success strategies.
A person’s behavior is an integral part of who they are and what they contribute to the team. Whether or behavior is inherent or learned, it reflects on our ability to lead by example and to engage our colleagues and our staff. How we act, our observable behavior will set the course for communication and relationship building or difficulty with our team and colleagues.
To get a really good look at how you behave it is worthwhile to ask yourself the following questions; and then ask the same ones to fellow team members so that you can have feedback and food for thought:
• How do I respond to problems and challenges?
• How do I influence others to my point of view?
• How do I respond to the pace of my work environment?
• How do I respond to the rules and procedures set by others?.
