The Leader In You--Building A Team


The Art of Building Successful Teams

There is an art to building successful teams and even a great coach can mold a winner overnight. But anyone who expects to be a leader in the years to come had better master a few basic coaching techniques. They are as necessary in the business world as the as they are on the basketball court.

1. Create a shared sense of purpose.
2. Make the goals, team goals.
3. Treat people like the individuals they are.
4. Make each member responsible for the team product.
5. Share the glory, accept the blame.
6. Take every opportunity to build confidence on the team.
7. Be involved, stay involved.
8. Be a mentor.


--From the book, “The Leader In You” by Dale Carnegie
