  • 3 Common Errors of Teambuilding Programmes - These days everybody wants to "do teambuilding" to derive the benefits for their business. But it's very easy to get it wrong, resulting in a waste of time and money. Even worse, getting teambuilding wrong can actually result in damaging your team performance and result in key individuals leaving the business. There are a few things you can do to ensure the exercise works for you, and a few key mistakes you want to avoid. The most common mistakes made in teambuilding are these: 1. Not including the whole team 2. Not employing a qualified facilitator 3. Not following up when you get "home" 1 If you want to improve the performance of your team as a whole, you should include all the people whose performance you want to improve.
  • All For One And One For All – Teambuilding Exercises - There is no “I” in the word “teamwork.” Of course not. Teamwork involves a group of individuals coming together to share ideas and solve problems. In the corporate world, teamwork is a necessary - even crucial - part of everyday operations. A well oiled team working together like a flock of birds wheeling in the sky makes a company indispensable. What happens many times, though, is that corporations run low on finding creative and intuitive ways to help promote teamwork among colleagues.
  • Corporate Team Building Activities - Although team building activities are often the brunt of jokes in the office place, the team building process is important for developing cooperation and teamwork amongst co-workers. Teambuilding helps employees form an effective team and strive toward common goals in the workplace, improving overall productivity. In an office environment, teams have to work together effectively to get the job done and achieve assigned objectives. Mutual respect and shared motivation are also important. Team building activities are helpful because they're designed to nurture positive teamwork and help each member of the team use their strengths to achieve the set objectives. Companies are faced with a lot of different human resources issues these days - understaffing, burnout, outsourcing, and other problems are becoming more prevalent.
  • Why do teambuilding? Q&A with UK teambuilding expert - Question: What is a team? Doug's answer: Managers in 'the know' have long recognised that real teams form an important function in what happens in the workplace. 'Real teams' are groups of people who have real skills, experiences and judgements which all determine performance. They will always out perform the same set of individuals operating in a non-team manner. Question: What can a team achieve differently?
  • The Five Hidden Secrets of High Performing Teams - Have you ever noticed how some teams have the magic touch? You see their work, and the way they work together and all you can think is, "Oh, I wish I were on that team instead of this one." It's hard to put your finger on what exactly makes them tick, isn't it? Well, satisfy your curiosity right here and right now. I have the answer. The reason you can't see the magic is that it's invisible. It's not written down in their mission statement and it's not repeated in the footers of their documents. From outside the team, you can't see it at all. Here are the five hidden secrets that separate the great teams from all the rest: 1. Trust.
  • Shaping Your Team - What do you see as your primary role as your team's leader? Are you controlling or do you let the team mold into its own shape? The less you try to control your team, the more success you will have as their leader. As your team develops, it will grow in ways you might not have expected in the beginning. Allowing this to happen is critical to the team's success. Think of each member as contributing him or herself as a bit of raw clay. As our team starts to meld into a unit, we may tend to try to force members to follow our own ideas as to how the group should proceed. The very terms "upline", "downline", "sidelines" etc. can damage our self-determination as leaders to our team.

  • It’s Easy to Make Money Online—And You Don’t Have to Do it Alone - What I like best about my online business is that it's easy to make money and I can work independently. I like being my own boss and setting my own hours. Sometimes I work during the day, but if the sun is out I might take off for a walk and work after dark. I can work from home or from a hotel in a foreign city. I'm the boss; I decide. What I don't like about making money online is doing everything by myself. Don't get me wrong--I enjoy my own company and I especially like working in a quiet environment. But when I have a difficult decision to make, or when I don't understand something, or when I don't have the necessary skills, I wish I had someone to turn to.

  • Championing Courage - Can you think of someone you know who exudes courage? Take a second and picture someone in your mind who is particularly courageous.

  • Keeping A Good Team Together - The cornerstone of any successful company is the team that makes it up. There is no other more important contributing factor to building a truly great organization. Effective development methods, the right technology, efficient processes, available money and well-invested time are all important aspects, but none can substitute for the importance of an exceptional team if you want to establish an exceptional organization. Keeping a team of talented individuals who work together well is one of the top challenges for executives these days - ranking right up there with hiring successfully and then firing. Keeping your team together as your company's core foundation stone is key to each individual's success—and most importantly, and obviously, to your company's success. Now, having talented people on your team is essential, but building a close knit and productive team is even more so.

  • Where Are You Making a Difference? - I was challenged recently by my holistic healer, Donna Wilkinson, an amazing woman who expanded my thinking about the "big picture" learnings from Hurricane Katrina. Through her abilities and insights to see more than most of us can see, Donna helped me realize that this level of devastation will likely continue in different places of our world that are as divided and suppressed as the Katrina areas unless we all make more of an effort to make a difference on a global level. I now see that there is no separation -- there is no such thing as "your people" or "our people" or "those people over there" -- we are all human beings, with more similarities than differences.
  • Network Marketing Prospects: Responsible Sponsoring - There's one philosophy of network marketing that says, "Sign up anything with a pulse." This is the throw-them-against-the-wall-and-see-who-sticks approach. The hope is that SOMEONE amongst those raw recruits will emerge as a leader. I see two problems with this strategy. First, it's bad for the network marketing industry. Why? Let me give you an extreme but true example.
  • What Are You Committed To? - Here we are, half way through the year! It's a great time to ask yourself: "What am I really committed to"? For those of you who have gone through one of my workshops, remember our discussion about the "wants" vs. the "shoulds" -- what is it that you really WANT?
  • Performance Management and Productivity Improvement through Trust - Trust is an essential part in managing people and building a high-performance organisation. It's the foundation upon which all relationships are built. As in any relationship, trust is central to stable and productive workplace relations and successful team building initiatives. High trust environments correlate positively with high degree of employee involvement, performance management, commitment and organizational success. If trust is present in the workplace, the organization gets maximum effort and commitment, and the employees receive security and know they are appreciated. However, our experience working in the private and public sectors of Australian industry, indicates a decline in trust in the workplace.
  • Project Whisper - Oprah Winfrey has a philosophy she has shared with her viewers over the years, which I only recently heard about. She says, "the universe is always trying to get your attention". If you know anything about 12 step programs, you may have heard that you have to hit "rock bottom" before you can take even one step on the road to recovery. Oprah turns this whole idea on its head. Instead of waiting until the whole house falls around you, maybe you can get it when it's just a brick wall coming down. Or better yet, just one brick.

A downline is made up of all the people who join a program from your website link (that's your "first level" referrals) and the people who join under them (your "second level" referrals), and the people who join under them (your "third level" referrals), etc.
