CREATING AND MANAGING EFFECTIVE TEAMS: Team Building: Attitude Reflects Your Altitude in Life

Creating and Managing Effective Teams with David Muraco, CPCC

When do you think it happened to us? When we were children who dreamed of bigger things in life? Or was it when we were in college and someone told us it can't be done? When do you think it was we gave up on the attitude that we can accomplish anything in life or business?

You see, our attitudes are a direct result of how far our team can fly in business. Some of us swallow the idea, that's just the way it is. While others ask what else can be done? Now I am not talking about living a life blind to what is around us, but what do we want to surround ourselves with? Saying positive things and doing positive things are a small portion of what really reflects our attitude in life and business.

It may be a cliche to say this, but we learn more from our challenges than our triumphs. The reason being is that the challenges in team building are a direct test of our attitude.

How easy is it to have a great attitude when it seems like everything is going according to plan? The part that really gives you the flight needed to reach the highest level of altitude in business is your attitude in times of struggle.

Now I am sure we can go back and look at the struggles in our business lives and say that's the way it was, or I can't live in the past. True; you cannot live in the past but you sure can learn a lot from it. No different than a baby getting burned on a stove understands that if they do that again they will get hurt. Now does that baby grow up and never cook or go near a stove again? Of course not!

So why is it that the same idea may happen in another area of our business? For example: you call your potential customer and they are totally not interested and say, "No!"

Will you get burned? No! Why is that then, more often than not the last time you call that potential client again? Those 2 different examples mean the same exact thing in life. While the idea may seem far fetched the learning is identical.

The same principle needs to be applied to our attitude today. By getting burned by that stove, did we learn a lesson? Yes! Was it a challenge? Yes! Did we over come it? Of course!

Now take this learning lesson and apply it to any challenge you may be facing today in your business and understand you may get burned and it may even hurt. But you control your attitude, just like you controlled your attitude over getting burned by that stove as a child. How? By going back to that stove again and again until your attitude reflects your altitude.

Now is the time. Today is the day to soar.

Remember be positive, be real and live your life In The Zone.

Creating and Managing Effective Teams

with David Muraco

We spend so much time trying to find just the right person to fit our organization. We go through thousands of applications, then after weeding through them we make hundreds of calls trying to set up interviews. Then we do one, two sometimes three interviews just to see if we have that perfect one to fill this role in our organization. We do all that and then what happens, they fail miserably. At first glance most people will read that and say their is a flaw in the hiring process. The truth is their is a huge gigantic flaw in their training process. Most organization spend so much time looking for the right person that more times then not they find them. The reason they don't work out is because they do not have any system in place for training. They don't ensure that employee is on the road to success, they enable that person to at best below average.

Take a company looking to add to their sales force. Their objective would be to hire the very best. So they do all the work to try and hire that person and if they are successful what do they do next? Let him go do his thing his way and then all of a sudden after a fast start he falls off dramatically. They call a meeting and ask why? He makes up a lame excuse and off he goes to sell some more. With in 3 to 6 months if in fact he is still there, production is minimal and if their is a salary attached then, no production at all. Then the company will make one last ditch effort to try and motivate that person but it is to late and next thing you know he stops showing up at all. What do the owners or the individuals say who hired him? Wow I didn't see that coming I thought he was going to be the one.

The truth is he was, if he was trained in a system set up by your organization where he could learn and grow. Every organization I have worked with wants to blame the people they hire instead of taking a look in the mirror and seeing that maybe it is them. How does this pertain to you and your organization? Look at where you are missing the mark and I guarantee that 9 times out of 10 it is because there is not a system in place to maximize the potential of your work force. We all want to label systems to making people act like robots. The reality is that more people have greater success following a system then ever doing it on their own. I encourage you to make the adjustments necessary to empower your team. Think of would the benefits would be to your team to train a good person once and what them grow. Or if you want to continue to get the same results,you can hire 10 people just to see them fail. The choice is yours.

Remember be positive, be real and live your life In The Zone.
