PURPOSE: Read books like The 5 Love Languages or How We Love to get guidance on how people are made up differently so you can learn what is important to those you love.
Ask for Help/Support
PURPOSE: Recognize that you don’t need to do it all on your own. Provide others a chance to serve you by asking for a helping hand.
Team Support Matrix
PURPOSE: Facilitate a discussion with your team members to identify how each individual “supports” other members on the team.
Join a Group
PURPOSE: Join a small church group that you can connect with, share concerns and pray with to give you an intimate, close knit group that you can turn to when you or your family need support.
Work Relationship Celebration
PURPOSE: Schedule a team celebration event to share how the team’s work relationships help individual team members, as well as enable the team to achieve success.
Team Brainstorm
PURPOSE: Develop a team who can work and grow together, where everyone feels supported and successful. In a team meeting, brainstorm development actions each team member can take to build a selected skill or capability.
Let Them Go
PURPOSE: Make the time to get critical issues on the table for discussion. Provide the opportunity for your employees, family members, significant other, etc. to get important decisions or events on the table so you can determine whether you need to “take action” or “manage expectations”, and the other person can either “take action” or “let go”.
Expert Database
PURPOSE: With your team, create a database identifying individuals who are experts on the skills and capabilities needed to successfully deliver team and individual performance objectives.
