Strategic Teams Session Two Empowering Your Team

Empowering Your Team Sharing Accurate Information: • Let people understand the current situation in clearer terms. • Begins to build trust in the organization. • Breaks down “Information is Power” structures and games.

Establishing Shared Values Purpose: Value: Image: Goals: Roles: Structures: What business are you in? Operational Guidelines Picture of the Future Who, what, where, when, etc. Who does what by when. How do you support what you do?

Empowering Your Team Four Questions You Must Ask 1. 2. 3. 4. What is our ultimate purpose? What am I to do to flow with that? How is it stretching me? How does my part affect the whole?

Empowering Your Team If a team does not reach its full potential, it is almost always because of a “payment issue. ”

Empowering Your Team The Price must be Paid by Everyone Individuality>>>>Cohesion>>>>>>> Synergism

Empowering Your Team Price – Value- Cost Relationship “Cost” is the measure of the difference between “Price” and “Perceived Value. ” Consider the “cost” of your purpose. Consider the “cost” of your values. Consider the “cost” of serving your team. Consider the “costs” others pay for you.

Empowering Your Team I will empower my team by: 1. Sharing accurate information. 2. Establishing Shared Values. 3. Providing a platform for their success. 4. Paying the price to add value to each team member.

Empowering Your Team Leadership acts as the server in a network.

Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. 2 For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3 Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4 I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. 6 "I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8 For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.
