team members

WE had a very good staff meeting this week. We had some good feedback, I asked everyone to share with the group what their strengths are. Normally I get blank stares, but we are slowly developing as a team and we are recognizing where and how we fit into a team. This is great progress. I think it empowers other team members to hear what the other guys strengths are, even if they know it already, it is different when somebody proclaims a strength. that is something that I try to teach, that responsibility is taken or earned not given. And if you are good at something then take ownership of it and make it yours. So by stating these things in front your peers it gives it a more real feeling, and you start to live your strength. the other team members will recognize that and start to use it to the teams advantage and know how to que you up for action like a perfect pass across the front of the net in soccer or hockey. the credit goes not to the one who makes the goal but to the unknown team members that make it all possible.
