Do you realize that the greatest gift you can offer your team members is the gift of leadership? Promoting leaders is the most important thing you can do to grow sales and change people’s lives.
The process begins with identifying team members performing well that you would like to have on your leadership team. After all, you are building your “dream team” of leaders. Think about the leadership qualities you see in each team member as you identify them. Look for those who are positive, fun, eager to learn, dedicated, persistent, friendly, organized, loyal, solid sellers, or have already sponsored someone.
In addition, look for team members that you believe have potential. Maybe they aren’t doing a lot in the business. You feel a connection, and you like them.
That’s my story; if my up-line hadn’t seen potential in me, I never would have become a leader. If she had only looked at my performance, there was nothing to see because I wasn’t working my business. (I was busy making excuses.) Thank goodness, she saw more in me than I saw in myself. She invited me to hear more about becoming a leader, and I saw an opportunity to change my family’s lifestyle in a business I loved.
There are many leadership qualities to choose from. Pick two for each person you identify and write them down by their name. These are the compliments you will pay as you set appointments to have a conversation about their future business and leadership.
You may want to go ahead and make your list of team members with two leadership qualities by each name.
