Building Effective Team Spirit

Team leaders focused on building effective team spirit understand that whatever level of success their team has, will be a direct reflection of their own energy and ability to motivate others.

F.E.E., simply stands for Fun, Energy and Enthusiasm.

Leaders, when building effective teams, should point out that FUN is what happens when the team has worked very hard, worked effectively as a team, and by working together has realized the results that were needed in order to achieve the stated goal.

In short, FUN – is experiencing victory, due to hard work leveraged by teamwork.

Building effective team spirit requires leaders to be excited, and even passionate, about what they do on a daily basis.

If the leader is energetic and enthusiastic then the team will also want to be a part of that excitement.

Successful leaders recognize the immense value of energy and enthusiasm. When building effective team spirit, take a quick look at each employee and rate them on a scale of 1-5 for their level of energy and enthusiasm. Conduct the same rating for each employee’s level of experience.

If you have two people you are considering for the same role; one highly experienced but lacking in energy and enthusiasm; the other less experienced but uniquely driven – choose the one who possesses the most energy and enthusiasm.

On balance, energy and enthusiasm outweighs experience, provided the person also possesses the aptitude to overcome their learning curve fairly quickly.

An experienced employee who is not energetic or enthusiastic are less likely to acquire these essential “team building” and “leadership” qualities.

Leverage the F.E.E. approach for building effective team spirit. Take time to encourage fun in the workplace and make sure you have the right people in the right positions.

Time after time, it is the little things that will keep your employees coming in early and staying late and loving every minute of it.

Commit now to having fun while building your best sales team ever.
