How do you make a great TTEAMM?
A great team is something that can be built. With the right ingredients and development, any group of people can come together for the betterment of everyone and form a strong unit. This week, I give you the first three letters (T, T, and E) of my TTEAMM acronym with the focus on building a great team. As you read them, think to yourself; What is a great team really made of. Enjoy.
- In order to have a great team, they must trust one another. Trust must be earned and awarded at all times. The instant trust goes away, marks the beginning of the end. Trust each other, trust leadership, and trust the process. It can take a while for trust to be built, so stay patient.
- You must have a unified common goal amongst your squad, bringing everyone together for a sole purpose. I always liked to take my players out for dinner outside of the court. These little activities can go a long way in building a team atmosphere. How do you get your team to stay together?
- Those who have drive and passion should have a spot on your team. They know what it takes to be successful and don’t stop until goals are achieved. It is crucial to stay upbeat and focused throughout the journey. How is your enthusiasm?
