11 Practices Team Leaders Need to Know
The following is an excerpt from the May 15, 2003 edition of To The Point, Arrow's free leadership e-letter.
Most leaders I know are intellectually committed to team leadership – many, however, struggle with how to be a leader on a team. You are a vital part of the success of the team, but the team must learn to lead itself and success or failure depends on the efforts of each participant.
The following are practices and responsibilities you must assume to be a good team member yourself, and to build and sustain your team:
- Be a good listener. Give others your full attention and be open to what is being said. Try not to distract them by making side remarks, whispering, or cutting anyone off.
- Be honest and open. Don't be superficial. Allow your underlying feelings to be shared with the team. If this becomes the group norm, you'll be able to deal with any contingency.
- Accept other people's needs and desires. Don't judge. See differences as just that -- not right or wrong.
- Don't be negative. Keep an open mind. Don't evaluate an idea before it has had a chance to be developed. Look for the positive aspects of every suggestion.
- Don't be defensive. Accept criticism as something to build on-not a personal attack.
- Learn to take the initiative. Express your own ideas (act on your own impulses) rather than waiting for someone else to begin.
- Become more sensitive to full communication. Watch facial expressions, tone of voice, gestures, and posture.
- Take a risk. Say how you feel. Try something new.
- See the uniqueness in each of your fellow team members. Try to build relationships. Pray for each team member.
- Be trusting of yourself, of others and of the group process.
- Be responsible. You are 100 percent responsible for getting what you want from the team and ensuring the team’s success. If you are fully invested in the team's work, you will encourage others to do the same. The result will be a hefty increase in your own energy and personal well-being.
Let’s commit to doing more things together and fewer things alone.
"When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority... " Luke 9:1 NIV
That’s it - to the point,
