Your job as a leader is help team members understand what they need to do to make the team
successful. These activities become their individual personal goals, which should be based on the team
goals. The team goals will align to the current operational goals and these goals should align with the
longer-term strategic goals.
Successful leaders know you only have to do two things well:
• Know where you want to go, and
• Build a team to get you there.
Knowing where you want to go needs to be expressed as a concrete goal with a time frame. These goals
are usually described as SMAART: specific, measureable, achievable, aligned, realistic and time framed.
Combining all these letters makes the direction clear and clarity is the hallmark of a good leader and an
effective team.
Building a team to get you there is all about communicating your strategic vision and using each team
member’s unique personality strengths (i.e. TypeFlexing) to create the synergy to get you there.
Synergy is the highest activity of life; it creates new untapped alternatives; it values and exploits the
mental, emotional, and psychological differences between people.
Stephen Covey
Paint a picture of where you want to be and then paint each of your team members into that
picture.
