Common Sense Leadership, Happiness at work - Is there I in Team?

In todays episode of Coffee and a Chat with Dave,  https://youtu.be/a4G9cgIC9dc

we are talking about Common Sense Leadership, Management, Happiness at work, Teamwork and a single most important factor affecting individual success and failure in a team environment:" I " in team work - persons' ability to adopt and work effectively with others. Is there an "I" in team? Let's figure it out! Table talk and Vlog segment about life, work, school, problems, issues...every day good, bad and ugly.

So, Let's talk about it!

"Being present" in a team alone is not enough to be a good team member; you need strong " I " values to produce results on " I " level and be able to collaborate and strive to achieve the organisational objective with other members of your team. The Workplace Happiness - comes from thinking of and helping others; all the internal pain and suffering comes from thinking only of oneself. A common workplace is a network of a cooperative and collaborative effort in order to achieve organisational common objectives - Business Growth & accomplishing the organisational vision and mission. To achieve business goals, adopt a simple but yet effective stand: People work with people to serve people, rather than: "You work for me and you have to do what I ask you to do!". Work stress can be greatly reduced simply by an intentional commitment to cultivating kindness, calmness and situational awareness and by letting mindfulness guide our actions and responses. When you feel impatient with your work or colleagues, you might be resisting how things are and fighting the fact that you don't have total control - that's the signal that you need a collaborative approach. Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others. Take the time to appreciate and express support for someone else’s work or project. Learn to regard work as an integral part of your growth and approach work as a way to elevate your purpose, rather than the means to survival. Do you believe, that there is no " I " in Team? Strong teams are the products of strong #leadership , clear organisational vision and powerful common goals. A team capital - is a sum of how much a leader values, respects and appreciates all individuals and their qualities, traits, passion and the human element - bound and driven by the common cause, mutual benefits, common objectives and a shared vision. #TEAMWORK Starts with " I " continues with " WE ": I am an individual, a Human being, a person with feelings and values, skills and life experience - so is everybody on my team! Strong team leaders align themselves with each individual and ensure that each team member values complement one another - there are no 2 the same individuals with an absolutely identical way of thinking, feeling and behaving. It is leaders responsibility to assemble the best possible team and to give every member the methods, resources and means to shine as a part of a team and instil pride of being part of "WE". Your team is the heart and soul of your operation but each individual in that team is the force, fuel and drive of that heart and soul with their unique abilities, skills, experiences and commitment to the common goals. Do you still believe that there is no " I " in Team? 

Leader - To be or not to be?

Leadership is a choice - not a position.

If you chose to be... Become a light, not a judge. Become a model, not a critic. Be a positive Influence and keep developing your moral authority. Courageously take the initiative to make good things happen. Think Big, Doo Good, Be Kind Empathise, be patient and persistent. Keep investing in your personal and professional development and stay on top of your game. Your security does not come from your job or from the patronage of other people - it comes from your ability to exceed needs and solve problems. Pick your battles very carefully Take initiative based on facts and in the form of well-thought process. The 4 main leadership values are vision, discipline, passion and conscience. But the supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, you're no leader. Five Areas of Leadership Emotional Intelligence: 1. Self-Awareness and Control. The ability to fully understand ourselves and use that information to manage emotions productively. Understanding of our emotions and the impact emotions have on performance, our impact on others, self-control, managing anger, disappointment or failure (resulting in resilience), and fear (resulting in courage). 2. Empathy. The ability to understand the perspective of others. Actively listening and understanding others’ points of view, understanding how our words and actions affect others and wanting to be of service to others. 3. Social Expertness. The ability to build genuine relationships and bonds and express caring, concern. Relationship building, collaboration, and conflict resolution. 4. Personal Influence. The ability to positively lead and inspire others, as well as ourselves. Leading others, creating a positive work climate, and getting results from others are the components of influence. Self- confidence, initiative and motivation, optimism, and flexibility. 5. Mastery of Purpose and Vision. The ability to bring authenticity to our lives and live out our intentions and values. Understanding our purpose, values and behaviours.

#Business and #Networking relationships evolve over time so does the character of trust.

Commitment is an essential ingredient for successful, long-term, relationships - Personal or professional. Business commitment arises from the trust, shared values, and a value proposition. Commitment motivates parties involved to cooperate in order to preserve relationship investment - Time, resources and effort. The development of trust is an investment in relationship building which has a long-term payoff. Trust emerges as people share experiences, and interpret and assess each other’s values and motives. As we learn more about each other, risk and doubt are reduced. Trust is the glue that holds a relationship together across time and experience. When mutual trust exists between parties involved, they are motivated to make investments in the relationship. If trust is absent, conflict and uncertainty rise, while cooperation falls. Lack of trust clearly provides a shaky foundation for a successful business #relationship #leadership #management #teamwork

Are we becoming the slaves of our own #leadership mindset?

Even Napoleon believed in #Humanity and Human effort. Napoleon introduced The Legion of Honor to reward civilians and soldiers alike. He explained:“Civilian virtues must have their reward as well as military virtues. Force itself is nothing without intelligence. Let us honour intelligence, accomplishments, civilian qualities, in other words, in all professions and let us reward them equally." What are your #leadership virtues?
