Six Keys To Building A Great Team "Taking from The 17 Indisputable Laws of Team Work" By John C. Maxwell

This following steps should interest you if you desirous of building a great team force in your business

1. Having a Vision
To make a great team, the leader should starts with the vision. It is the responsibility of he/she being the leader to effectively communicate the vision and make their teams see the big picture. Great leaders in history from General Eisenhower to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. used effective communication to galvanize their people to success. People get more committed when they see what they are working toward.

2. Size Up the Situation
Seeing the big picture makes our vision clearer and it reveals how far we really are from achieving it. A lone ranger gets intimidated when he sees the gulf between what is and what could be. But a team builder gets motivated, stays focused and works towards setting up a dream team that sees the big picture.

3. Line Up Needed Resources
A team builder should be able to quantify the resources needed to achieve success. In the words of John Maxwell, "the better resourced the team is, the fewer distractions the players will have as they try to achieve their goal".

4. Call Up the Right Players
The key to raising a successful team lies in the quality of players at your disposal. Your distinct vision, a precise plan, plenty of resources, and incredible leadership will take you nowhere if you have the wrong players in your team.

5. Give Up Personal Agendas
We must focus on building an egalitarian team where the goal is more important than the role. As Ray Kroc, founder of McDonald's aptly put it "no one of us is more important than the rest of us".

6. Step Up to a Higher Level
We achieve something greater than ourselves when we put away our personal agendas, focus and see our team as a boundless entity.
To build a great team, we must effectively communicate the vision to our teams as leaders; and genuinely align ourselves to our team's goal as members.
