Team Building Skills pt.1

#1 PUT THE TEAM FIRST
In a team one of the most important things is to have "we-optic" vision instead of "me-optic" vision. When you're in a team the team has to come first no matter what. You need to make sure the purpose and prioritys and purpose are clear and known

#2 COMMUNICATE OPENLY AND CANDIDLY
Information is POWER!! With information you can take power, but without it you are a captive. Know the score!

Information and knowledge is power. With out it nothing can happen. If you have knowledge then you are always more in charge of the situation than the others who don't have the same knowledge you do.

#3 BE PART OF THE SOLUTION, NOT THE PROBLEM
WANTED: high performance team members; passive observers need NOT apply! Get involved! Speak up! Share your ideas because we all know they are amazing! And volunteer your awesome time and talent.

Some of the most amazing ideas come from someone who never speak. Yes it might be scary to put yourself out there but you never know if they are worth it if you never share them.

Problems are good, not bad. Welcome them and become the solution!

#4 RESPECT DIVERSITY
Diversity makes life interesting with it we gain insight, and new options. There are alternatives to the sitation. We need to connect with our teammates and listen twice as much as we speak. (God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason)  Make sure others feel they are valued and important, because they are.

Diversity is amazing. Weather the diversity of culture or just diversity of oppinion. Accept it and embrace it!

#5 ASK AND ENCOURAGE THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
"Profound questions generate profound understanding." When we ask questions we gain more knowledge and help others who were too afraid to ask themselves. We are opening the door. We disrupt the status quo.

If we never asked questions we would never gain new knowledge and we would never move forward.

If  you take a close look at the most successful people in life, you'll find that their strength is not in having the right answers, but in asking the right questions.
