Building a Better Team

• Each time you have a turnover of staff,
  keep the team concept in mind when you are filling the vacancy.
• Pay attention to staff morale, which is the same as
  keeping your finger on the pulse of your staff.
• Train your staff how to give each other effective
  feedback and constructive criticism by role modeling
  with them on a daily basis. Also work on these skills in staff meetings.
• Encourage, through your own example,
  acceptance of others' accomplishments and mistakes.
• If you are working with a board of directors,
  spend some training time with the board and staff,
  working together on team-building skills. These sessions
  will enable each group to learn more about the other.
