We’re winding down in our series on how to hire for, and develop a great team. We’ve talked about hiring our hourly team members (from no experience/entry level to Store Team Leader level) for qualities rather than skills, indoctrinating those new hires, and changing the expectations of our ‘old’ team members to…

Great Doesn’t Happen By Accident... Helping People Find Happiness Elsewhere
What Does It Take To Build And Develop A Truly Great Team? Part 5 of a series…
Welcome back! Here we are, working on building a great team of hourly team members, from no experience/entry level to Store Team Leader. We’ve talked about hiring the best people by hiring for qualities rather than skills, because we can teach pretty much anyone almost any skill, however we cannot teach qualities.

Great Doesn't Happen By Accident... Indoctrination What Does It Take To Build And Develop A Truly Great Team? Part 4 of a series… So here we are in part 4 of this synopsis of my 70 or so post series, walking through hiring the best hourly team members, indoctrinating them onto our team, choosing the right apprentices, and changing the culture of our team from the one that allowed us to be average to one that will not allow average people to remain on the team.

Great Doesn’t Happen By Accident… It Takes A Carefully Planned And Ruthless Assault On “Good”
What Does It Take To Build And Develop A Truly Great Team? Part 2 of a series…
So here we are back with part 2 of this series. We are starting with hiring hourly team members, everyone from no experience/entry level to Store Team Leaders. When hiring for this level we are hiring almost exclusively for Leadership qualities. This is because those qualities are the things that make people clone…

What Does It Take To Build And Develop A Truly Great Team? Part 1 of a series…
A truly great team requires obsessively great hiring, a trusting, transparent Leader who strives to be a servant Leader, shared goals and values (best if developed by the team), a culture of ownership and responsibility, and a need for constant improvement.
I have been writing about hiring and training the best hourly team members, as well as how to change the team culture to enable the…

No One Took You Wrong... You Said It Wrong!
You Are 100% Responsible For How People Take Your Communication
How many times have you said, or heard, “he took me the wrong way” or “they misunderstood what I was saying”?
When communicating your thoughts, you are completely responsible for making sure the other person understands the idea you intend to convey.
Being a good communicator means more than simply stating our thoughts.
It means:

Leadership And Holding The Door Open
Do you hold the door open for others? If you do, why do you do it?
Do you want to think that you hold doors open for anyone who happens to be behind you because you are a kind hearted and giving person, and then feel a little insulted when you don’t get a ‘thank you’?
Do you, like me for much of my life, hold the door open for others and then say a sarcastic ‘you’re welcome’ (at least in our…

Leadership Or Manipulation?
If We Are Developing Relationships For The Express Purpose Of Influencing Others, Is That Leadership Or Manipulation?
I started to write a post on developing relationships, and the connection between my thoughts on what Leadership is and is not, and how and why we develop relationships burst into my mind.
I have come to believe that we, people, can only consistently act like great Leaders if we…

Do You Remember What It Was Like To Be New?
Do You Remember What It Was Like To Be New?
We were all new at some point. We can be new in our job… perhaps getting a promotion or hired in at a level that is new to us, as well as simply working in a new environment. Both of these bring challenges, and as Leaders our actions can have a major impact on the kind of relationships our new hires develop at work, as well as how they feel about us and their new job… which in turn determines…

Who Needs A Mentor Or A Coach Anyway?
Who Needs A Mentor Or A Coach Anyway?
Mentors and coaches aren’t just for executives, and… who else might need a mentor or a coach?
Anyone who aspires be a better leader needs a mentor or coach.
Why you ask? Well…
Leadership is not simply a set of actions or behaviors. If it were, anyone and everyone who has read a Leadership book or two, or who has been through some Leadership training would be a great Leader. And we all know…

Can We Choose To Enjoy Our Jobs?
Can We Choose To Enjoy Our Jobs?
Can we choose to enjoy anything for that matter? Do we have the capacity to accept the circumstance in which we find ourselves, and make the choice to enjoy whatever we are asked to do?
In order to do this we must accept our circumstances as if we had chosen them.
Can we… I mean the majority of us, actually do that? Even if we can, most of us don’t know how. If we did, wouldn’t we all just…

7 Things That Separate Average People From Amazing Performers
7 Things That Separate Average People From Amazing Performers
This is worthwhile talking about here, since we are all about getting you promoted.
Our themes so far have been about getting an honest picture of how you are/who you are at work, being the best you can at your current job, acting like someone your boss would want to work with, and acting like someone your boss could see trusting.
Most of us think way too highly of ourselves… if no one is talking…

Should Each And Every Effort Raise The Bar?
Should Each And Every Effort Raise The Bar?
Do you permanently raise the bar when someone puts in extra effort?
“Sad but true. When you over deliver, that raises the bar. That’s your new standard and you are constantly measured against that. Even dropping to, say, a high-average level means your performance has deteriorated and you’re possible termination material while anyone else who rises to that same level is considered hot property”.
