What makes your team special? The Crusaders are arguably the most successful rugby team in the world. They’ve won 14 Super Rugby championships, produced more All Blacks, more All Black captains, and more All Blacks coaches than any other team. So it might be surprising to hear that champion coach Robbie Deans, who led the team from 2000-2008, says the rugby’s easy. For Robbie, the thing that sets the Crusaders apart is not their technical/tactical skills. His first job is to create an environment where the players are ready to immerse. Where they’re fully present, engaged, and connected. And it’s from that place that the Crusaders play great rugby. This concept applies to team leaders in any environment. We often think our job is to focus on technical skills, when our first job is to create the environment where our teams are ready to give their all for each other. To apply this to your team, ask yourself: 🤔 What makes your team special? 🤔 Do you have some “big ideas” that drive your team? What are those driving ideas? 🤔 How do your team’s big ideas above come into play? Let us know how you get on in the comments. Hear it in Robbie’s words:

Just one person can make a world of difference Only 10 years ago Ollie Watkins was playing non-league football and yet on Wednesday night he fired England into the final of the European Championships. Of course, he was surrounded by an England team that wanted to win and had been given his chance by a manager prepared to take a risk. Yet, what will be overlooked in this moment of celebration is that he had to: - Work hard - Be patient - Be prepared - Be mentally ready - Have a positive attitude - Work well with the people that have supported him - Be resilient - Anticipate what may come his way - Take the opportunities presented to him - Eat well - Sleep well - Listen - Take calculated risks - Surround himself with positive influences - Be a good teammate and; - Continually look for ways to improve his game This is true of every employee in every role and just like Ollie Watkins did, you can make a world of difference. #culture #teamwork #results

Founder of The Gameplan™ - Transforming organisational performance, building high performance teams and record revenues
Are England going to win tonight? Whatever you say about England and their Euros performance, you can’t deny that the team are together and now have a siege mentality. Togetherness is everything in a team… or indeed a business! However uninspiring the tactics or strategy, they are still in the tournament. The ultimate goal is to win. When England won the 2003 Rugby World Cup some of the games weren’t pretty; they won ugly. How you pull a team together and create ‘the edge’ is crucial to achieving very tough objectives. It’s about making sure people are in the right positions, not being afraid to try something different, giving people a voice, rewarding them for a job well done, picking them up (and listening) when it doesn’t go well, and to sometimes make the unpopular decision. It’s tough out there, but England’s ability to dig in to the end, could see them win. My system brings everyone in together. It’s game changing. If you’re ready to take your team to the next level, let me know and we can work on your own Gameplan together.

I went away for a week having implemented a completely new management systems for my team. I got back to find that nothing had burned down, they had followed my team management processes exactly the way I had hoped they would, continued with the work plan they had created for themselves at the start of the week and come up with a creative solution to an inter-departmental challenge that arose whilst I was away. I had full faith in my team they would be able to manage. I empowered them to make these decisions on their own and as a result they all made the best decisions they could for the benefit of the team. Trusting your team and treating them like the professionals they are will allow you to be able to leave work and know that everything is being handled. For those who know me, I like to make football analogies, but this is my one and only rugby analogy. It's called trusting your inside man. For those that know rugby, there are predominately two ways to defend. Man to man and drift defence. Man to man is simple. You are responsible for your opposite man. Drift is a little bit more nuanced. Drift defence is great because it allows you to always have an overlap. When the fly half says drift, everyone shifts over to the next man in the line. What this does mean though is that you have to trust your inside man to make the tackle; you are left completely exposed otherwise. (A more visual and professional explanation of this can be found in this link: https://lnkd.in/dsjtpniQ) Ultimately, my team had my back whilst I was away because I trusted them. As an owner, CEO or manager, are you trusting your team to implement the things you ask them to do or does all hell break loose when you're away? Let me know in the comments below.

Teamwork is absolutely crucial. A robust team not only delivers exceptional results but also brings out the best in individual talents. Creating a positive and supportive environment is paramount. Just take a look at the football world - most Ballon d'Or or European Football of the Year winners hail from strong teams, often World Cup champions or victorious in the Champions League. These remarkable players are surrounded by other top talents, creating a harmonious symphony of skill and success. It's a rarity to find a player winning the Ballon d'Or from a relegation team. Building and nurturing a culture that fosters growth and success is the key. While it's true that there are genuine and extraordinary talents out there, having them in a team is truly a blessing. However, for their brilliance to truly shine, they require a solid team to provide unwavering support and enhance their exceptional abilities. By focusing on the team, all the good stuff will be multiplied and amplified. Together, they can achieve greatness beyond imagination, creating moments that leave a lasting legacy in the annals of sports history. Let us embrace the power of teamwork and witness the magic it can bring, not just on the football field, but in all areas of life. #TeamworkMakesDreamsWork

Helping organisations win in product delivery | Certified Product Manager | Mentor | No-Code Enthusiast
if work stops because a team player is on away or on holiday, you are probably not as agile as you think. What is the team player never returns, considering the inevitable can happen. agility isnt super dependent on a person but a structured way of working visibly and enabling creativity in any way to enable the team win. Its not important that Messi or Ronaldo scores in a match, its more important that the team wins the match. Don't put your hopes in the Ronaldo's and Messi's in your team, seek for collaborative knowledge transfer and skills development to enable a cross functions, multi skilled team enable you deliver value quickly and correctly...always
