I’ve often written here about my experiences singing in a band and opening casinos – both involved working with people who challenged and inspired me. Those two experiences bookended and changed my life. They involved spending a lot of time with people, working closely, forming bonds, and establishing trust and respect. As a team. Where we stood shoulder to shoulder, working together and complementing each other. My singing involved close knit harmonies and my working relationships felt the same. Getting a satisfaction out of accomplishing things together. For most, it’s hard to pick who you’ll be working with – that role must be assumed by hiring managers, choosing as carefully as they can, and then creating and fostering a teamwork culture that brings people together in both work and interpersonal relationships. The more leaders are successful at this, the more successful they, their peeps, and their companies will be. There’s no magic to it – begin by getting people to continually communicate with each other and let that be the basis of their working together. It’s the kind of work that makes work fun, the kind that can change lives. Spend your time building your team today.
