Inspiring Teams - 3 - Share Strengths

3rd of 5

Share what is great about each other, and of having them as part of your team, with each other, openly, including the team leader – use people’s strengths, and encourage and focus on them (if someone works on their weaknesses, their strengths will weaken - the great truth that threatens so many competency frameworks that look for all-rounders). I have just been told this team did this throughout their win last Saturday.
