Entrepreneurs talk about creating a world class A team. They talk about culture, it’s the buzz word nowadays. And it should be.
Your team and the culture you build will either exponentially take your love for what you do out into the world, or it will kill your ideals, beliefs, and never let the market know about your company!
Having a great team is a huge key to success but if you really want a great team… you better step up yourself.
Your Certainty, Your ability to deal with your customers, Your happiness, Your energy, Your focus, Your confidence, it is shown through your team.
If you truly are the leader of your team, then they will mirror you!
Does your team seem like they are not sure what they are doing? Is the energy low at your office? Is the stress level high? Is business down?
Do you find yourself blaming your staff… STOP!!!
Most likely the problem is YOU… you are uncertain, your energy is low, your stress level is high… not them!
I know, this can be a bit depressing when you look out at your staff and you are not happy with the state of your business, or your team. But here is the good part. You don’t have to sit down one at a time with your team and coach them back… this doesn’t have to be a long process!
The first step is simply to STEP UP yourself!
Wake up 30 minutes early, read something to help you grow, exercise. Be the first to the office and the last to leave. Eat healthy, drink water, say affirmations, bring the energy!
Remember why you love what you do!
Finish the paperwork you have been putting off. Clear your piles, answer your emails. If you want to see that World Class A team, if you want the culture to drive your business forward… become it yourself!
And if you are not the one in charge, if you are not the boss…so what! You Lead! As Ghandi says, become the change….
Just a thot.
