In today's episode, Mark and Randy talk about the value of scorecards for your team. Make the score visible to everyone so they can see how you're doing. Hold it loosely, and don't try to measure too many things at once!
It is a gift when people know what they're supposed to be doing. But when it's unclear, productivity and engagement will suffer. Give everyone clarity on their role—including yourself!
Similar to purpose, goals give focus, energy, urgency, and help everyone understand when corrective action is needed. When everyone shares the same goal, it's a poerful thing!
Why does your team exist? If we asked them what their purpose is, what would they say? People want to be aligned, and they don't want to sit aorund wasting their time because they don't know why they're doing what they're doing. Give your team a purpose and that clarity will be liberating to everyone.
Apart from being a buzzword from the last several years, diversity is a really important piece of building high performance teams. But diversity might not always mean what we think it does. That's what Mark and Randy kick off this week's episodes discussing.
Every time we talk about building teams, we have to talk about skills. You can hire for skill or you can develop the people you have—and really, you should be doing both! There's also a tried-and-true way of telling if someone can lead or not. Find out what it is on today's episode.
Do your prospects know the story of your company? Did your current team know before they signed on? Telling your story at the right time can mean the difference between landing or losing your top talent.
If you're going to build a top team, there are some things you absolutely cannot overlook. Mark and Randy are going over the non-negotiables for building top teams on today's episode.
"Top talent wants to make a difference just as much as they want to make a living." Remember a few months ago we talked about casting bold vision? That is what top talent wants and needs from you.
