How to Build a Winning Team

Team building is the catalyst of all you want to accomplish. When your home based business grows and you have created a team in your business there is no better way to serve your followers than by directing, motivating, training, delegating and gratifying.

There are five basics to built a great team:

DIRECTING

When you give people direction, challenge them to use their talents, and give them the autonomy to achieve a goal, you have helped them fulfill their personal potential and that of the team. Keep directing your team based on their mission and refer to their sense of pride as motivator to excellent work.

MOTIVATING

After you start directing your team, you must motivate each individual person in your team. One of the best ways to do that is through recognition and rewards. Most of the time people will do anything for recognition and that is more important than a paycheck to the human kind. There are two rules you have to remember. The first one is that you have to Praise in Public – Correct in Private. The two important benefits of doing this is that the person being praised feels good and the listeners benefit by knowing that if they do well the leader will acknowledge them also. The second rule is Praise what’s Right – Train for what’s Wrong Train where improvement is needed. People will be more motivated when the feel satisfied. Satisfaction comes from being part of an effective team and feeling that you are important to that team.

TRAINING

People are motivated to learn when they see that it will improve their lives and their potential. As a leader you must make education a top national priority. It is the key to staying competitive in Network Marketing. Training will make the difference between having people in your team with good intentions and those who can make a difference.

DELEGATING

You can’t built a team without efficient delegation. Most times a business owner falls into the trap of doing things themselves when they want them “done right”. This is a “luxury” that you cannot afford. Learn to delegate tasks and projects to optimize your time. When you delegate task these keys will help you go well though the process. 1. Clearly define the task. Do not tell a person how to do the task. Let them know what results you are looking for and what benefits will from its completion. 2. Give the authority to accomplish the task. Pick one person from you team who you believe he or she can handle the task. 3. Give guidelines to begin or follow. This will help the uncertain or unskilled to learn what you expect. 4. Reward and recognize effort as well as the results.

GRATIFYING

Create an atmosphere that is as stress free as possible to maximize productivity and loyalty. Make the work enjoyable and conductive to people expending their talent and energy toward the desired results.
