Team Leadership
Here are 5-basics on how to develop strong relationships that are so
crucial to your success as a leader:
1. Ask each employee what he/she most values, and
begin to set company goals to support these important aspects of the
lives of your employees.
2. Help people reach their full potential by catching them doing
something great! Compliment them on their successes, even if they
are minute.
3. Distribute a monthly company newsletter, whose sole purpose is to
recognize and congratulate the "wins and wows" of your employees.
People love to be recognized for their accomplishments, and this
will instill a sense of pride in your employees.
4. Host one fun day each month. Take employees to lunch, to a
matinee, or host a party outside of the office. This one day off
will rejuvenate your employees and build loyalty to the
organization.
5. Build consensus by allowing employees to vote on changes within
the company.
Motivating Team Members
When it comes to motivating people, nothing is more powerful than
dealing with others honestly and recognizing individual efforts and
achievement. These 5 tips are crucial for mastering the important
elements of exemplary leadership:
1. Deal with conflict by being upfront and honest. Own up to your
role in the conflict and move toward resolution as quickly as
possible. If you have been wrong, state it, followed by an extension
of an apology.
2. Eliminate company gossip from your life, and keep all employee
concerns confidential. If you need support for company gossip, hire
a coach who has a reputation of being trustworthy to act as a
sounding board.
3. Trust your employees to make smart decisions without your
interference. Self-esteem is built by allowing others the
opportunity to try new things and to be successful by adding their
personal touch to a project or assignment.
4. Provide work that is meaningful and that allows your employees
and/or volunteers the opportunity to stretch and grow, and above
all, provide the training necessary for implementing a change.
The training of people will be crucial to your ability to move into
the future. Add a coach to your team or visit the American Society
of Training and Development (www.astd.org) to find an expert near
you.
5. Cheer the company on by announcing on a daily basis the successes
of the previous day. Make this announcement public and filled with
enthusiasm!
Courage, encouragement, honesty and open communications are four
ingredients, when used daily, can maximize your leadership potential
and support you in growing employee loyalty.

The On-Site, Kaizen Blitz Event
Facilitated by Bill Gaw/Enrique Mora
“Get competitive... there is no status quo for winners!” That's our mantra for individuals and companies that want to survive these turbulent times. It may sound cruel but it is reality; either you find a way to continually increase speed, improve quality and reduce non-value-added cost or you may not survive during these turbulent times.
That said, we believe that to survive in competitive environments, companies need to focus/refocus on a continuous improvement
initiative. A study of successful companies will invariably show that they have developed a culture of gradual, continuous improvement. Remember this, you're either winning or losing... there is no status quo!
Our Kaizen Blitz Event includes on-site training and team coaching that produces an immediate, effective, sustainable continuous improvement process. Its being used by leading companies to increase speed, improve quality, and reduce non-value-added costs. Profits generated drop directly to the bottom line.
What does all this cost... NOTHING! Yes, you read that right... NOTHING! There are no fees and clients are at liberty to cancel the upfront training sessions for any reason at any time and there will be no charges. We want you and your company to learn how to get lean and/or leaner and the best way to do that is to base our fee on the savings generated by our training and coaching.
