Many of the SMB owners in our tribe are frustrated. Wondering why their teams are stuck, why their people seem marginally engaged, why the fog of drama and dysfunction keeps resurfacing just as the last conflict is settled. The Cost of Inaction is much higher than you imagine; just think of the time wasted trudging through, waiting for a break.
Great teams don’t build themselves.
As a Commander in the U.S. Army, soldiers and officers were assigned to my command. I didn’t interview or select them from a list of candidates, not even for my top positions. Then, in one of my first civilian jobs, I was blessed to work for a great leader on a high-performing team. I commented in the first month, “You’re lucky to have such a strong team.”
My boss replied, “Luck has nothing to do with it, Ross. I have been building this team for ten years.”
Great teams don’t build themselves.
The SMB owners we work with frequently act like victims, believing they don’t have control over their line-ups, that it is someone else’s responsibility to fix this team performance problem. But when we take a closer look, the line-up is rarely to blame for the majority of the pain. Our experience shows that most people (90%+) want to come to work and do a good job for a business that is making a positive impact.
If your team is stuck, start with a basic Team Performance Workshop. Learn about communication styles (DiSC) and work on key skills together (Delegation, Feedback, Conflict Resolution, etc.).
When you have these basics down, set the bar higher. Take your leadership team through Strategic Planning Acceleration. Get all the ideas out of your head and into a simple business plan that will focus and align your people. Help them find their way on the Xtra Mile.
