How do you create a success environment where all team members can bring their best?
There are five roles which you need to play to make people feel safe, energized and productive.
- The Captain. Ensure that the team works on common goals.
- The Herald. Speak with one voice. Create lively debate inside the team. Once a decision has been taken, everyone needs to be in full support.
- The Cheerleader. Celebrate success. When was the last time you made people feel good about their accomplishments?
- The Butler. Give and ask for help. “I can do it myself” may work for a five year old child, but has no place in a high performance team.
- The Coach. Reinforce support and provide helpful feedback when team members make small mistakes on their way to achieve big goals.
