Investing in Your Team

Investing In Your Team

The team with the best players usually does win – this is why you need to invest the majority of your time and energy in developing your people.
- Jack Welch

At the start of the New Year, this quote really hits home.   If you do not cultivate and nurture your team and help them to plan and achieve their goals, it will be a struggle for you to hit your targets in 2013.

As president at GGR, my goal is to make sure that our team has the best players and I continually allocate resources throughout the year to achieve that.   Each January, I sit down with each member of my team to go over not only the companies yearly plan but their own.  Here are 4 key principles that I use:

1. Our company vision must be clear, motivating and have goals that are highly rewarding and achievable.
2. Our team has to genuinely believe that we are one team with one purpose.
3. Each member of the team has the tools and knowledge to self-evaluate themselves in order to support their weaknesses and leverage their strengths.
4. Together, build a roadmap with key milestones that allow us to measure our success.

I have learned that the grass really is greener on the right side of success, but I could not have gotten there without investing time and energy in building the right team.
