Setting our sails to launch
We cannot affect the wind’s strength or direction. We cannot
change the force of the tide. However, we will reach our
destination through the wise use of what we can affect: the set of
our sails!
- Pick a destination/Where do you want to end up?
- Check for obstacles
- Adjust your course to account for obstacles
- Alter the course when things go wrong
- Sail in a worthy ship
During this series we PLAY THE GAME OF EXCELLENCE. We identify
our individual and Team strengths and explore ways to cover all our
bases. We experience the truth of “Not my way. Not your way.
But OUR WAY”. Top teams talk. Top Talent Managers listen. Together
we BUILD OUR COMMUNICATION BRIDGE.
We learn to VALUE AND UTILIZE OUR DIFFERENCES. We explore
our WORK AND COMMUNICATION STYLES: Direct, Spirited, Considerate,
and Systematic.
We address the BENCHMARKS OF TEAM EXCELLENCE:
Transparency, Responsibility, Accountability, Alignment, Effectiveness,
Empowerment, Passion, Commitment, and Results
We develop our own TEAM SHARE. When team members don’t
share information openly, projects stagnate, relationships suffer,
productivity takes a nose dive.
We:

- Make Action Plans for improvement
We grow our STRENGTH BASED TEAM WORK. Wouldn’t it be great if
teams were made up of people whose strengths and talents were
perfectly aligned.

- Harvest Team talents to cover all bases
- Find Best Practices
We build TEAM TRUST: The Ultimate Test
