SOARing Success #5: Building your Team



SOARing Success!!

Following are the the thoughts inspired by Jay Hayden..

Principle #1 - Be Curious (To stand out)
Principle #2 - Bring out best from people around you of what they can do
Principle #3 - Finding work-life rhythm that you can maintain
Principle #4 - Caring Deeply
Principle # 5 - Building your Team (Collaboration)


It is important to have "My Team" of people with whom you can share the success with and who can freely advise, provide prespective, support etc.

Make sure you have people in your life who you can always turn to and for whom you will always do the same.



As Meghan pointed out...

"Collaboration isn’t about giving up your individuality. Quite the opposite: it’s about realizing your potential. It’s about bringing your many gifts to the table and sharing them in pursuit of a common goal. It’s about bringing your ideas, your passion, your mind, heart, and soul to your leadership and culture."

SOARing Success #4: Caring Deeply



SOARing Success!!

Following the the thoughts inspired by Jay Hayden..

Principle #1 - Be Curious (To stand out)
Principle #2 - Bring out best from people around you of what they can do
Your true potential is only realized when you truly care for the company and associates you are working with. It is important to get deeply invested in success of company and success of employee.

This only happens if you build constructive culture within your group, organization and company. 

Constructive Culture 》Positive Environment 》Higher Productivity >> Success

As Matt describes:

A constructive culture is one within which people are encouraged to collaborate and connect with others, as well as approach their work, in ways that are conducive to them meeting their higher-order human needs. Rather than a dog-eat-dog, hyper-competitive, Machiavelli-himself-may-or-may-not-have-made-here environment, a constructive culture is more characterized by an emphasis on the good of the collective.

It helps to build drive and mutual respect among each other. This in turn helps to go above and beyond.

Principle #2 - Bring out best from people around you of what they can do
Principle #3 - Finding work-life rhythm that you can maintain

Principle # 5 - Building your Team

Every one of us work hard to check "If I am doing great in my Job". But to be a leader you must stand out, truly care and understand the big picture and larger issues of the company.

Always be on look out for any issues and be curious about causes for it. Make it your mission to find out what can be done about it. And then DO IT!!!

Here are few thoughts shared by Jeff Hyaden around ways to stand out!!

Be first with a purpose.

Don't just be the one who turns on or off the lights – be the one who gets in early or stays late in order to get things done. Not only will your performance stand out, you'll also start to...

Be known for something specific.

Pick a worthwhile mission, then excel at that mission. People will notice.

Create your own side project.

Excelling at an assigned project is expected. Excelling at a side project helps you stand out.

Put your muscle where your mouth is.

Everyone talks about problems. The people who help fix them stand out.

Show a little of your personal side.

Let people know a little about you; a few personal details add color and depth to your professional image.

Work harder than everyone else.

Nothing – nothing – is a substitute for hard work. Look around: How many people are working as hard as they can?

I don't have special talents. I am just passionately curious - Albert Einstein
