4 Things Every Team Needs

No matter how big or small your team or what its goal is, there are four things it needs to succeed. As a leader, it’s your job to help your group create and adhere to each of these:

A meaningful common purpose. Most teams are responding to a mandate. But to be successful, your team must “own” this purpose by developing its own spin on it.

Specific performance goals. Develop measurable goals to inspire your team and inject a sense of urgency. Shared goals require everyone to focus on their collective effort, rather than on differences in titles or status.

Commitment to how the work gets done. At the onset, agree on who will do what jobs, how you will establish and honor schedules, and how you will make and modify decisions.

Mutual accountability. You can’t force trust and commitment. By agreeing upon purpose and goals, your team members forge their accountability to one another — not just to the leader.

Get a Job Offer from a Stranger

A good network is important when searching for a job. But if you don’t already know the right people, you need to expand your reach. People you don’t know yet can be just as helpful as those you do. Here’s how:

Define your professional goals. Write down your objectives and make sure you can tell a cohesive story about yourself and where you’re headed.

Cast a wide but focused net. Scour LinkedIn, company websites, and Twitter to identify people who may be able to offer you a job in your chosen field, or advice on how to get one. With this cold call approach, you’re not likely to get a high response rate so don’t be afraid to compile a long list.

Tell a personal story. Write an email to each person making it clear who you are, what you’re interested in, and why he or she should respond and help you.

Today’s Management Tip was adapted from “Make a Stranger Believe in You” by Anne Kreamer.

“Some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear
beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having
to change, taking the moment and making the best of it,
without knowing what’s going to happen next.”
