Building a successful team is a science. It’s no secret that to achieve business success, following a certain set of prescriptive methods will increase the chance of positive results. But what happens when the results aren’t happening at the rate we planned? What happens when team goals aren’t fully achieved and the full potential of the team isn’t realized?
This month, Leadercast has focused on the topic of Dysfunction on teams. A lack of momentum in achieving results is a clear sign something is amiss. So, how do you jumpstart results?
It starts with the self-awareness of the team’s leader. The UC Berkeley HR team puts it this way: “The first rule to team building is an obvious one: to lead a team effectively, you must first establish your leadership with each team member. Remember that the most effective team leaders build their relationships of trust and loyalty, rather than fear or the power of their positions.”
