Building Strong Teams

You are here: Home / Building Strong Teams

I used to think that hiring the right people was the key to building strong teams. After all, if you ask the right questions, make sure the person has the right qualifications, education, and experience, it will all work out, or so I thought.

Time and again, I witnessed failure with this approach. The employees that I had such high hopes for turned out to be disappointments. What was missing? That’s not to say that hiring the right people is wrong; it’s not, but it’s only the first step.

That’s when I realized that the next step, “What’s next?” was finding a way to build up what is strong in those employees. I had to give them a chance to develop into the team members that I saw in the interviews. Each one of them has unique gifts just waiting to be developed.

We have worked with hundreds of business owners and corporations and this dilemma is a common thread in most of those companies. Employees, your team, can disappoint, frustrate, and baffle you, or they can amaze you with their creativity, perseverance, and dedication to the success of your business and your customers.

What is your reality?

When you think about your employees, are you spending far too much time on personnel issues and the drama that goes with it? Are you experiencing high turnover? Do you feel like you are the only one that really cares about the business? Do you feel overwhelmed with the day-to-day management and rarely have time to work on the business?

Imagine a team that cares about your business like you do. They understand what it takes to be successful, and they consistently show up ready to be part of the solution. When you build what is strong in your people, they will respond. You can:
• Experience lower employee turnover
• Create higher customer satisfaction
• Realize increased bottom line profits

Bringing out the best in people is our business. We’re ready to help you bring out the best in your people.

Knowing Our Strengths Could Have Saved The Business

You probably know by now that I believe in the power of individual strengths and how they can be transformational in our personal and professional lives.  I even made the statement last month in my newsletter that I am going to be more focused on my strengths this year to help me grow my business […]

A Talk With An Old Friend

I recently had a conversation with one of my past bosses whom I consider a friend and a mentor.  We talk a few times each year and I always come away with little nuggets of wisdom.  The latest conversation generated an “aha” moment that really resonated with me. We were talking about business in general […]

Is This The Best We Can Do?

There’s not a business owner or manager that would disagree that a highly functioning group of employees or team members is important to the success of a business. It was spring 1997. I had just been named sales manager for the local division of the national company I worked for.  It’s important to know that […]

Anatomy of a Hopeful Person

Have you ever used the word hope to describe something you want? “I hope to be a successful attorney.” “I hope to start my own Chiropractic Practice.” “I hope to start a business and be my own boss.” “I hope to be the top salesperson this year.” “I hope to ______ someday.” Be honest, haven’t […]

How’s Your Foundation

I live in a beautiful area with rolling hills and open spaces. It’s a great place to walk for exercise and relaxation. Recently, on one of my walks, I passed a couple looking at one of the homes for sale. They asked if they could ask me a few questions and I was glad to […]
