One of the BIGGEST mistakes I see when it comes to team building is people pouring all of their time and energy into finding leaders and superstars.

We get frustrated when our team does not have the same level of commitment that we do, and we often go out and we become obsessed with the idea of recruiting the ‘perfect leader’ who will take little guidance, coaching, and motivation to build their own business.

However, this is exactly where we go wrong.

You do not need to look for leaders when you can help create them.

Stop wasting your energy looking for the perfect leaders!  First of all, ‘perfect leaders’ do not exist.

Instead, focus on your existing team. Your people have skills, excitement, and character.

All you need to do is to challenge them in a way that leads to their growth.

So, what do you need to start doing today?

There are 2 important action plans that will help you make this shift and become a better leader for your team:

  1. Make an honest assessment of where you are personally in your leadership (maybe you’re the one who needs to work towards being the ‘perfect leader?!!’
  2. Start seeing the greatness of each and every person on your team.

In this episode I dive into these two action plans and share with you how to make a major shift in your leadership: from personal development to leadership development.

I tell you, as a leader, there is no greater joy than seeing your team members growing and their lives being changed because of you.
