The biggest lesson I have learned over the years is that it’s the team you build that leads to the success of your company. No one can do it alone!
Early in my career, I thought I had to be the one to do everything myself. I have learned that success comes when you build a strong team of people who share your same passion and values. Each person has a different and important role and it’s teamwork that has gotten us to where we are today.
Surround yourself with the best talent:
■ Appreciate and develop the different strengths of each person.
■ Delegate responsibilities, give direction and the authority to implement.
■ Create an environment where everyone knows they are supported.
■ Support your team professionally and personally.
■ Recognize everyone on the team has different needs and personal priorities.
■ Give employees the opportunity to grow by supporting professional development.
Create team goals:
■ Having overall team goals for the company fosters teamwork and collaboration.
■ Celebrate successes together!
A strong team will pull together and, when you need them the most, they will rise to the top and make you proud!
