10 Secrets to Team Development

Society is spinning like a top and everyone on the team seems to run according to its pace. It's like we must do anything or at least look like we are doing something in the development of the team in order for us to look significant. It seems that if we are constantly doing something, we become important.

In this post, I will uncover ten secrets towards achieving the drastic and dramatic development in every team. These might keep you in pace with the new innovations that the world offers and who knows, these might jolt you to one of the VIP seats in your company.

1. Dream big dreams. Visualize. Imagine and create an exciting picture of your personal wealth and prosperity.
2. Develop a clear sense of direction. Make it a habit to always be working on what you want to be, what you want to do and what you want to have!
3. Do what you love to do. Identify the ideal work for you and then do it. Don't worry, everything will follow.
4. Commit to excellence. Excellent people aim to become in the top 10% in their field. Then they get paid more than ever before.
5. Work longer. Work Harder. People who get more work done provide greater value and will attract more clients.
6. Dedicate yourself to lifelong learning. Continually upgrade your talents and abilities to be in the team. Develop yourself first. This is not optional.
7. Learn every detail of your work as part of the team. Become an expert in your chosen field and you'll soon double your self-awareness and self-development.
8. Be absolutely honest with yourself and with other members of the team. Personal integrity is a must in your working life as it is in your personal life.
9. Dedicate yourself to serving other team members, too. You can get what you want in life if you'll help enough people get what they want.
10. Set priorities and concentrate single-mindedly. Focus on your most important task of the day and get it done.

I hope I have given you some helpful tips about how you can get started today on becoming the team member who is responsible for development and improvement. Working in a team is a great feeling and like most important things in life worth working for. It takes dedication, perseverance, and hard work. There is a learning curve in team development. However, if you work hard and consistently as a team, you will achieve more important recognitions from your superiors than ever before.

Re: Anyone Uses Elance.com? Guru.com? Rentacoder.com? - I've had quite a bit of success on oDesk.com. I've never used Elance so I can't compare. I like oDesk.com 'cos I get to sort thru people (e.g. within a certain bid range) with a single click. I find their help response very quick and I like the oDesk Team software that "providers" must install. This gives me the Buyer more insight as to what I am paying for. The Team software takes screenshots of the Providers screen on 10 min increments so I can see that the person is infact doing work for me.
