Introduction

Hello, and welcome to "How to Lead a Team". Chances are you are a new leader or a leader looking to up your game. To grow your team and be more effective in your daily management. Today’s business environments are turbulent and have increasing complexity, which makes it essential that strong teams are developed and fostered for growth.

If you, as a manager, feel like you are spinning your wheels and getting nowhere, it is likely because you are not getting the buy-in from your team. You are not showing them what they need to see as far as their value to your team. Those leaders who are respected by their teams know that they cannot just simply walk into the room and expect the team to follow you. This type of mindset is that of a boss, not a leader. In some environments, you might be able to get away with the boss mentality.

However, when working with teams, you need to move beyond your ego and work to become an influencer. Those truly successful leaders understand that by using tools of influence, you build a better working relationship, and often your team sees the tasks as their ideas and their objectives rather than what have been handed down from upper management.

As a leader, you need to attract people to you. You need to be the one who not only understands where they are coming from but can empathize with their situations. As you develop and grow, you will start to find that your team is more confident that they believe in you as their leader, and they are willing to go the extra step. Your employees want to be leaders they do not want to be dictated to. It is through your actions and the way you carry yourself that you can move from the boss to the leader, or even more effective the coach. Your employees will often follow your lead. You set the tone and example for your team. So, what kind of example are you currently setting?

Within the following sections, you will learn from seven easy steps how to up your management game to gain the respect of your employees and boost your team to higher levels. However, it is important that most change begins with you. You need to be ready to be humbled and look beyond what you think you know. It is time to open yourself up to the possibility of change and be ready to grow in ways you may not have considered.

There is no time like the present to jump in and develop yourself for a lucrative future. Before you begin one thing to remember is no matter what position you currently hold or hope to hold, you offer value to your organization. You can lead your team to success, and your employees each provide their own individualized values. Capitalize on those strengths and learn from the weaknesses. Big things await when you are able to unlock your team's potential.

Chapter 1 - Step 1: Develop a Management Strategy

One thing that many management strategists have found is that strategy can be very simple, but nothing is easy. In any industry, there are different issues or uncertainty that can cause turbulence for managers. As our workplaces continue to evolve and change, it is essential for managers to develop a strategy or approach for their teams.

Once managers would use a very highly structured approach to develop strategy, this was known as strategic planning. Typically, it involved putting plans in place for the coming year and into the future. This type of planning is difficult in today’s ever-changing business environment. Moreover, managers are finding that it is essential to be flexible and dynamic when developing strategy. With a flexible yet focused approach, managers will position themselves better to respond to setbacks and opportunities as they come about. This is not to say that there is not a need for a clear understanding of the industry, marketplace, and what the strategic position is.

As you develop your strategy, think of these things as key guides.

Flexibility – I am able to adjust while staying within the corporate vision or mission guidelines

Responsive – I am actionable to conditions that happen within my team

Creative – I commit to inspiring my team to stand out and elevate organizational standards

Challenging – I use challenges to motivate and inspire my team

Realistic – I am honest and upfront with the goals and objectives our team must complete.

Focused – I set defined and clear expectations for my team, and follow up.

Engaged – I include everyone on my team and encourage them to be the solutions.

Think of these as your framework for developing your strategy. They are broad I statements. Yet, when you establish this framework for your team, you are setting broadly based processes. As you grow and develop your strategy, you will begin to see that there are many different ways to manage a team. In some instances, you will manage one person on your team differently than you might someone else. This is because not all people are the same. This is also why we come back to the basic framework mentioned before. If you are using this same framework with everyone on the team, there leaves little room for disjoint feelings between team members.

Your strategy development is a process, and it requires you to identify aspects of your personality and be honest with yourself. It also means that you have to look at each member of your team and be honest with yourself about how you treat them. As a manager who desires a high performing team, it is essential to prepare yourself with a strategy that will benefit not only your team but also your organization. In the next part, I
