Love your team!

 

Enthusiasm is important. Love is the answer! To really and I mean really tap the power of your heart and lead with positive, contagious energy you must love your team members. Find the value in each of them. Help them find their gold. Help them to discover their strengths, allow them to do what they do best. Letting people share their strengths and gifts is real love. And by you loving them and helping them find their gold they will shine and so will you. When you bring out the best in others, you can't help but bring out the best in yourself!

I want to share with you 5 ways to love your team members:

1. Make Time for Them: When you love someone or something, you spend time with them. You nurture your relationship with them. Get to know your team. Cultivate them with love. Be present with them. Don't be thinking about other things you have to do that day. Really be with that person and focus your energy on them. They will feel the difference.

2. Listen to Them: Do you hear what your team members say? Do you hear what your customers or prospects say? They want to be heard so listen to them and hear them. Not active listening but really sitting down and listening with your heart and caring about what they have to say. Empathy is key. Let them know they are seen and heard.

3. Recognize Them: I am not talking about trophies or award dinners. Make it personal. Honor them for who they are and what they do. Recognize them as a person as much as a business professional. The more you recognize them for doing things right, the more they will do things right. Feed the positive and watch it grow!

4. Serve Them: The higher you get in an organization, the more it is your duty to serve the people below you rather than having the people below you serve you. The key is to serve their growth, their future, their career, their spirits so they enjoy work, life and being on your bus (on your team). The more you serve their growth, the more they will help you grow.

5. Bring Out the Best in Them: When you love someone, you want the best for them. You want them to be successful and happy. You want to bring out the best in them. The best way to do this is to help each person discover their strengths and provide an opportunity for that person to utilize them. When you create a system that provides a way for people to shine, you not only bring out the best in them, but in the rest of the team and the company as well. If you really want to love your team, help them do what they do best. Its that simple!

I am here to love you, help you and bring out the best in you!
