How To Build A Team That Succeeds
This week I was talking with a client who was struggling with feelings of overwhelm and feeling like they just didn’t have the time in their days and weeks to get everything done.
As we started to explore this, it became super evident that:
- They were trying to do EVERYTHING themselves.
- They were worried about what their team would think of them if they asked for help.
Sound familiar?
As we dug further into this sense of overwhelm, we uncovered that they were really worried that if they asked for help their team around them:
- Would think less of them.
- Would judge them for admitting they needed help with something.
- Would think they weren’t technically competent is they were asking questions or asking for help.
Here’s the thing - as my business coach Taki says:
“If you want to go fast - go alone. If you want to go far - go together.”
Meaning - sure, you can do things on your own, never asking for help and doing the lone wolf thing. And sure - you might be able to go fast on your own.
But if you want to build a sustainable team and business that can scale and go far - then you need to go together.
Be OK asking for help.
Be OK with admitting you don’t know something.
Get good at leveraging the differing skills of those around you.
Be OK admitting that you can always get better.
Don’t go alone and you’ll go far.
