Team Engine

Often when I consult for team building, I find a director that doesn't care about the individual parts of their team.  They think each person should do their job and think that if they just take care of their own job duties that the team will work perfectly.  A team is like an engine..if you don't take care of the individual parts, then the engine will not purrrr along as it should.  It will clunk along and sometimes bang really loud.  It will run slower then its potential and will take a lot more energy to keep it going then it should.  Tend to each person... learn what motivates each member and what each person needs from you as their leader.  Take care of the parts and watch your engine run at peak performance.
