The answer to your problems isn’t to build a better team… It’s to provide better scaffolding for the one you already have. Ready to discover the secret?
One week, your team’s on fire, and you’re sure you must be doing something right… but then the next, everything just feels… mediocre.
You don’t want your team to see your frustration, but how is it that they’re so variable? Why can’t they be consistent?
Here’s the problem: You likely got to the position you’re in today because you’re highly motivated and disciplined about your work… and now you’re managing people who don’t necessarily possess those qualities.
You need your team to perform at a consistently high level, but not every member has the work ethic you had when you were in their position.
This means you can’t rely on them to take the same steps you would to ensure success…
You need to create a culture that nourishes and supports the average person so they can excel – and hopefully, along the way, build up some of that dedication and motivation they currently seem to be lacking.
But before you rush to book more training, you should know that training is distinct from coaching and development… and it isn’t what your team needs.
What they need is coaching to perform better, and systems in place that will empower them to act toward your goals. Free on Kindle.
