Wouldn’t it be amazing if your team had the same level of commitment as you do to your business?
While that’s not a realistic expectation, you can cultivate a more earnest sense of commitment and energy to your mission.
I recently wrote about three aspects of creating a high-performing team:
Ownership
Transition Time
Reporting
Ownership is a big one.
Ownership is referring to owning a task or an outcome.
There’s a difference between the two.
And aligning that with your team member, and their capability and stage of development is important to consider as well.
Owning a task looks like this: Complete weekly tracking of customer engagement.
Owning an outcome looks like this: Increase the engagement of our customers through our weekly promotions by 10%.
Not only will tracking be a part of this, but you’ve included the strategy to deliver a result.
This is one way to enhance the level of commitment with a capable team member.
It’s not easy to let go.
It’s not easy to delegate.
But if you begin to think about the idea of tasks vs. outcomes, this could be a path to building more commitment and developing your team so they can evolve their contribution in a meaningful way.
It’s a great way to develop good people.
NOW is YOUR time.
