Keys To A Winning Team

As every successful entrepreneur knows, human capital is the greatest asset of any company. A dream team makes it possible to accomplish powerful objectives, while providing deeper and richer career satisfaction along the way. But human resources can also be the biggest liability, and that is too often blamed on the personnel themselves – not on the people whose job it is to hire them. One of the biggest complaints of business owners is that they cannot find qualified, competent help. To cure that problem they need to realize first and foremost that the people they get are the ones they deserve.

Sometimes Leaders are the Weakest Links in the Chain of Command

Entrepreneurs asked to critique their own businesses point out how much more they could do, if only they had more capable and enthusiastic employees who were also invested in the growth of the business with pride and a sense of responsibility and self-motivation. And while it is true that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, it is also true that we generally get the kind of people that we ask for and deserve. The owner/employer is often the faulty weak link, having no adequate systems in place to help eliminate human error or maximize efficiency .

Unless and until business owners acknowledge their accountability for the teams they create, progress will be stalled and employees will be stifled. But once an employer is ready to accept responsibility for getting the kinds of people and the types of teams that he or she attracts and deserves, it is possible to begin the process of building a dream team that matches the plan and model of a dream business.

Keys to a Winning Team

• Strong Leadership
• Common Goals
• Rules of the Game and Action Plans
• Risk Taking
• Inclusion and Involvement

Putting it All Together in a Systematic Way – Supporting the team with tools, training, technology, and systems is important for a number of reasons, and one of the most compelling reasons is that this ensures that the owner or entrepreneur can run the business without being run by the business.
