Developing a great team always begins with you
You cannot build a great team without great players
You need to recruit championship-caliber people with passion
Look for people who are …
Flexible - adapt to changes and thrive on new challenges
Teachable - are explorers and place a high priority on breaking new ground
Creative – bring new ideas and foster adaptability
Service Minded –strive to accomplish goals and are problem solvers
Working with the team
Completing one another is more important than competing with one another
Teammates need to be supportive, not suspicious
Remove discord immediately (24 hrs rule)
Convince teammate to focus on common goal not independence
Create victories through multiplication – releases and harnesses not only your skills but also those of everyone on the team
Inspire a win-win attitude with your teammates
Complement others – match someone who has strengths in area of weakness and vice versa. Seek out others on the team with complementary gifts and have them work together.
When interviewing for team members
listen for their area of interest (they will mention it if you let them)

So you say you want to do it again So you say you want to do it again next year…true success!next year…true success!
Success bases our worth on a comparison with others
Excellence gauges our value by measuring us against our own potential.
Success grants its rewards to the few but is the dream of the multitudes.
Excellence is available to all living beings but is accepted by…the few.
