How To Make your Team Fall In Love With You!
One major issue that MSME business owners face is that first they are unable to find good people and if and when they do, they don't know how to retain them.
Today Ameet Parekh Review will be sharing a framework on how you retain your team members and make them fall in love with you.
All of us as business owners desire that we get people in our team that are driven, passionate and are willing to go the extra mile but we never focus on what needs to be done to have a team that sticks with you through thick and thin.
So today, let’s understand what we need to do as business owners to make our team fall in love with yourself
1.
Your Team
a Team is like nurturing a relationship and for any relationship to be long lasting and successful the first step is to know each other well
in this scenario
as a business owner need to understand a couple of aspects of your team members.
are the likes and dislikes
are they passionate about
are their personal ambitions?
is the growth that they are looking for in your organization?
You need to understand the first rule of leadership is to know your people, you cannot lead the people you don't know
Take 5 mins and plan how and when will conduct the team growth goal process and get this details from them to lead them better?
One of the strategic reasons why you would want to do this is that this information will help you in offering them roles and responsibilities that are in alignment with what they are looking for.
This is the first step that any business owner needs to set right.
3. Make them your Growth Partner
The next essential element in making your team fall in love with you is by involving them in the growth & success of business.
Let me simplify this for you
You need to set a culture where you help your team members to understand that they can achieve their desired growth and success when they contribute to the growth of the business, because you need to make them understand it is the business which is the vehicle that will lead you as a business owner, your team and your customers towards higher success and growth.
And you also must make them understand that if their contribution will lead to the growth of the business that by default will lead to them to grow higher and higher.
Once your team understands this concept that their aspiration and growth relate to the business growth.
Everybody in the organization will always focus on business result to be the priority number 1 and then everything else, because now they have a vested interest in making the business grow faster.
This is the classic example of how you make your team your partners in growth.
Take 2 mins and write down what contribution do your immediate subordinates have to do to align them with business growth and then ask them to do the same for their subordinates
4. Offering Them Clarity
Now once you have done the first two pieces one essential element that leads to most people leaving in organization is not having clarity of their roles and responsibility in the company.
And here is what Ameet Parekh have discovered that no matter how talented or skilled or knowledgeable a person is, if you have not given them a clarity of what is expected out of them then even the best of people leads to pathetic results
Helping people understand what they are supposed to do and deliver gives them a clear area of focus and helps them direct their efforts in producing results more efficiently.
They say clarity leads to action and action leads to results.
So, if you wish your people to stay, make sure you help them very clearly understand what are their roles and responsibilities in the organization so they know that they are well placed and have a unique role to contribute in the company.
Giving them clarity also gives them the sense of contribution which is a very critical parameter to stay working in the organization.
