Developing an Inspired Team By Audrey Moralez Certified John Maxwell Speaker, Coach & Trainer

Developing an Inspired Team ( excerpt from the Article in our Magazine)

Have you ever found that you want success for others more than they want it for themselves? Motivation, or the lack thereof, is very personal. Is it possible to inspire someone and lead them to success?

John C. Maxwell says in The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership that, “leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less.” So the question becomes, “how do I influence others in a way that creates motivation, commitment, and enthusiasm?”

What if we looked at success in a new way? What if the “feeling” of success became the goal and we started to think about our leadership role as the facilitator of an experience that paid dividends in pride, fulfillment, recognition, and relationships? What might an inspired team look like and how do we build an atmosphere of inspiration and motivation? 5 Steps to creating an Inspired Team:

1. Paint a vision of what is possible

You can quit on a goal, but you can’t quit on a vision. As much as we would like to think that we are rational creatures, the truth is that we are emotional beings. Success requires sacrifice, risk, investment, and challenge. The only way to sustain forward momentum is to inspire others with a vision worth working for. When the going gets tough, the people may just get going…toward the door…unless you have given them a reason to stay…and a reason to stay invested. Vision is where the power is; vision is where the heart is. If you have invested in your team and built the vision in them, they will have the motivation to sustain them.

2. Focus on their potential

Point out their strengths and praise what they bring to the organization. Speak to their abilities and what you believe they are capable of. A person with low morale says, “There is nothing I can do. I can’t make a difference,” while a person with high morale says, “I have something important to do. I can make a difference.” Build belief in your team by making it clear that each person is significant and has a central role to the team. As a result, your team will begin to understand and believe that you care about their personal growth and success.

3. Celebrate with them

Become their cheerleader. Everyone needs to know that they are important. Share in their journey by noticing and commenting on their improvements and contributions. Make it clear that you appreciate the efforts of every person on your team.
