As a leader, you need to establish and align shared vision, goals and company objectives. Once these goals are set, it is essential to communicate them clearly to the team, outlining each member&#8217;s role in achieving them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Team Charter or Executive Directive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An essential ingredient both misunderstood and undervalued, yet crucial for success, is the Team Charter, Executive Directive or simple guidebook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/murrayslatter.me\/?p=1855\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Edward W. Merrow in his book<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Leading-Enterprise-Transformation-George-Koenigsaecker\/dp\/1439859876?ref_=nav_custrec_signin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Karen A. Brown and Dr. Nancy Lea Hyer<\/a> in their book both emphasize establishing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Project Charter, <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Executive Director <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>or at least a communications plan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In any of these cases, the stakeholders you are communicating with need you to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Identify all stakeholders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Determine the objectives &amp; set expectations for performance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Determine the right channels and timelines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assign responsibilities and Monitoring\/evaluating criteria<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mentoring and Coaching<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To manage your team effectively, you must provide regular mentoring and coaching. This allows team members to identify areas for improvement, equipping them with what they need to grow and develop. Effective coaching and mentoring is best delivered within a framework focused on self-discovery, your role as an Executive Leader is the facilitation of self-discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, as a leader, it is essential to provide your team with the resources and support they need to achieve their goals. This can involve providing training and development opportunities, ensuring that the team has the tools and resources they need to perform their jobs effectively, and removing any obstacles that may prevent them from achieving their goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Great, Exceptional vs. Average Team Leaders<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference between great, exceptional and average leaders lies in their ability to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Great<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>understand their team members&#8217; strengths and weaknesses, <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>communicate effectively, <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Facilitation of growth, through feedback, mentoring and coaching<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and support their team members to achieve their goals. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exceptional<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>foster a culture of trust and respect, <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>providing team members with autonomy <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>support what they need to perform their jobs effectively by creating a known\/knowns framework<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Average<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, average leaders rely on directive leadership styles, micromanaging actions and team members, providing minimal feedback or support. This likely leads to disengaged team members who are less likely to take ownership of their work and contribute to the team&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Body of knowledge: Reflections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Several of the notable thinkers and their works that I have reflected on in building and managing high-performing teams:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Patrick Lencioni <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/murrayslatter.me\/?p=1118\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;The Five Dysfunctions of a Team&#8221; <\/a>Lencioni is a well-known author and speaker on the topic of team performance.
