In this episode of the Overgivers Anonymous Podcast, I want to talk to you about your team, and how your team is an asset to your business. Dare I say it’s a business asset. This statement doesn’t make you an asshole. When you think about your team being a business asset, I’m not talking about seeing people as office supplies or robots… Think about your team as a massive benefit to you and your clients. Then think about how you can be a massive benefit to your team.
Highlights:
- It’s important for you to make sure that you have team members who are the “right bums in the right seats”.
- One of the biggest problems that I see with business teams is that they contain people (who may be great people and can do great things), who are not working within their Circle of Brilliance
- Team members also need to be really, really clear about your expectations of them.
- Make sure that when somebody brings an issue to you that you are willing to actively listen.
- Seek first to understand, before being understood. Yeah, Stephen Covey!!
- The reason why it can be difficult to truly listen is that our brains generally are trying to formulate an answer before the other person has finished speaking.
- When you hire somebody you are going to make sure that they’re the right person. You need the right bum in the right seat. Then you’re going to make sure that all expectations are clear on both sides. You are going to make sure that you invest in them.
- When you have your business set up properly with processes and procedures, and a system that you can walk your new team members through, it will cost you less to onboard new people and to onboard people into new roles.
- If you don’t have processes and procedures and systems in place it could cost more to onboard people. Once you get the processes and procedures and systems in place, it will take less time and money.
