TODAY IS A BIG DAY! It is the 100th episode of Corporate Competitor Podcast! If you have joined Don Yaeger’s journey to learn how sports shapes today’s executives, you know that our team puts hours of research into each interview so that the questions are unique to the guest’s athletic and corporate experience. But there is ONE question we have asked every guest: What are the elements that turn a collection of individuals into a team? How can you go from just “wearing the same jersey” and “carrying the same business card” to a great team?
We have compiled our favorite answers into four themes:
TARGETING PURPOSE: Members understand whom they are serving and why that matters.
EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT: The ability to think creatively in order to stay fresh, effective, and relevant.
ACTIVATING EFFICIENCY: Each member brings a unique set of talent, perspective, personality that compliments others.
MUTUAL DIRECTION: The shared responsibility and trust that motivates your employees.
We hope this compilation will add value to you so that you can multiply value to others.
