It is ok to admit that you do not know or understand something. Many people think that admitting that they don't know is a sign of weakness. In my experience saying "I don't know but let's look into that." or "Let's ask someone who does know." upsets people momentarily, but it also gives them the chance to think and decide where to go from there. People appreciate when you admit lack of knowledge and give them the chance to decide. In a leadership position, you build your team based on the areas where you lack ability and knowledge. You give them projects, work, and assignments based on the areas they are knowledgeable in. They are there to support you and you in return support them. It is a sign of strength to defer to a team member that knows a subject better than you do. It helps the team see you as human and makes them feel like you appreciate their presence and strengths. This also can build trust between you and your team.

Building a strong team starts with a strong culture! Making sure everyone is on the same page about your values and mission is key. . . . #executivecoaching #managementconsulting #managementcoaching #leadershipcoaching #lasvegaslocals #businessteamperformance #businesscoaches #coachesofinstagram #motivation #lasvegascoach #lasvegasbusinesses #lasvegasexecutives #lasvegasmanagement #lasvegasgamingindustry #selfconfidence #empowerment #trust #highperformanceteam

Motivating your team is a key driver of success in any organization. Here are three powerful strategies to inspire your team to reach new heights: 1️⃣ Challenge Your Team: Provide them with opportunities to stretch their skills and tackle ambitious goals. We discover our true potential when we step out of our comfort zones. 2️⃣ Encourage Responsibility: Empower your team members to take ownership of their work. They become more invested in the outcomes when they feel a sense of responsibility. 3️⃣ Give Them Recognition: Acknowledge and appreciate your team's efforts and achievements. Recognition fuels motivation and fosters a positive work environment. What's your go-to strategy for motivating your team? Share your insights in the comments!

No team is immune to hard times. The days are gone when we can leave our outside life at the door when we show up each morning. Turn on the news and it's overwhelming how much pain there is in the world. As a leader we're often playing the role of boss, coach, manager, therapist, friend (something I think we need to challenge but that's a post for another time). But nobody really equips you to lead people through tough times. You mostly figure it out as you go through them. There's a lot we could say, but here's something to consider. Leading teams through tough times is a balance of CURRENT REALITY and FUTURE POSSIBILITY. Only focus on the GOOD and you'll end up with a culture of toxic positivity. Only focus on the BAD and you'll end up with a culture of debilitating negativity. We need to manage the tension between empathy and hope. Being honest about where we are right now. Inspiring a belief in others that tomorrow can be better than today. You don't need to solve all the problems. Sometimes your team just want you to acknowledge they exist. Be real with where you are and enter every conversation with empathy. You do need to keep pointing people forward. Make the changes within your control, show people how they can take their practical next step and lead people forward with vision.

"To succeed, it's not enough to have a clear vision; what truly matters is making your team believe in its attainability, making them an integral part of that vision." - Youssef Mandour During these regular strategic meetings with my team, I don't just limit myself to explaining my vision and the goals that need to be achieved. Instead, I seize the opportunity to listen to every voice, consider every opinion, and touch upon different perspectives. Through this approach, we are not only working towards specific goals but also elevating ourselves to higher levels of interaction and collaboration. The team becomes a unified family working harmoniously to achieve a clear and motivating vision for everyone involved. #teambuilding #vision #BelieveAndAchieve #LeadershipJourney #entrepreneurmindset

Long gone are days when companies felt like “families.” (Psst…That’s a really good thing.) Why? A group of people that work together is NOT a family. A group of people that work together IS a team. Because they are a team, here are some winning reminders: 🫶 Encourage your team members to bring their best selves. 👏 Treat your team members like you’re on the same team. 💙 Support your team members through their highs and lows. 🗣 Remind your team members to take time to rest and reset. 👂 Listen to your team members and show you genuinely care. 📣 Root for team members to work towards a common purpose. If you take the “team” out of “teamwork," you just have work. And work is more fun and rewarding when you’re on a team. 👉 Great things are rarely accomplished alone. 👉 Great things are accomplished by a team. How does your team work together as a team? #leadership #teamwork #team

As a leader, are you building a sense of belonging in your team? Do the individual team members know they have a role in achieving your team goals? Do they know what it is? Do they feel their importance to the team? Are they receiving affirmations of their worth? Do they see themselves as part of the collective WE? Do they appreciate their colleagues? There are many things you can do to foster these ideas. But the best place to start is you. Own your role. Help others identify their place in the scheme of things. Know you are important. Affirm the importance of the members of your team. Use « we » in your language. Show appreciation for your colleagues.

9 things basketball taught me about team success. ( It relates 100% to business ) I played professional basketball for years. Here are my key learnings: 1. Practice makes perfect 2. Leaders don't need a title 3. Every team needs a clear vision 4. Everyone in the team has a specific role 5. Recovery is as important as working out 6. Study the competition, but focus on your craft 7. Games are won through defense, discipline & heart 8. Know your strategy, systems and processes inside out 9. Leave it all out on the floor & don't worry about results Basketball, just like business is a team game. Each role is important & contributes to winning. Success is when the team embraces its interdependency. We call this 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁! PS: Which point resonates with you?
