Very often, visionary leaders assemble a team, or group of teams, with the intent of having them execute a strategy. It's easy to bark out orders and set deadlines for execution.
Recently, I've woken up to the following pre-existing opportunities:
- Having a team requires allowing ALL members to add their perspective.
- Asking recommended actions is better than asking for opinions.
- Allowing the team members to build their own synergies and relationships with each other is important.
- Understanding those synergies and relationships is even more important.
- Reading the team stress-levels is second to communicating with the team that you are interested in (and will actually) help them through their stress.
- Celebrating success often and without being overt is always the way to go.
- Having members within the team take risks in leading others builds better relationships and respect with all.
- Share their success with others (over yours).
