7 Reliable Strategies to Lead and Build Your Team

It is already a given fact that amid hustles and bustles, stress at work can be so irritating and consuming. As business-oriented people, we have managed to juggle schedules between family and business aside from equally important commitments in life. At the end of each day, we find ourselves weary, bone-tired and even emotionally and mentally drained. The more we think of the many things piled up for us to do, the more we feel the heavy load weighing down upon our shoulders. The responsibilities, one after the other, have crashed on us. We feel as through our strength is stripped off inch-by-inch and piece-by-piece and we feel weakened. Does any of this sound familiar?

So, what are the simple steps in achieving the secrets to building the team spirit despite the stressful working hours and job descriptions? Read on and find out. You'll be amazed that you'll end up saying, "Why didn't I know this sooner?"

1. Develop a clear sense of business direction by stopping and sitting for a while with the team. When you value time to study and discuss the nature of your organizational objective, it will soon bring about a clear direction for what to do in your business transactions and team working procedures.
2. Integrate in your plan for team development a well-coordinated set of strategic fiscal and monetary policy priorities that support a sound fiscal and debt position, low rates and inflation, and healthy current account levels. You owe so much to yourself that you cannot afford to owe anyone else. Keep out of debt. .
3. Constantly remind the team to watch their work and not the clock. A long day's work makes a long day short and a short day's work makes anybody's face long.
4. Always remind the team that dishonesty is never an accident. Good men, like good women take l00% responsibility for what they say and do.
5. The team must develop a reputation for speed and dependability. People who do things quickly and do things well have the winning edge over those who don't.
6. Tell the team to take excellent care of their physical and emotional health. Inform them to become well-rounded people who live a balanced life.
7. Most importantly, the team must practice self-discipline in all things. Discipline is probably the most important quality for organizational success. Remember that determination is discipline in action.

When will you start strengthening your confidence as a team member? Start early. Never allow failure to be an option. Remember, the people who are reading this post are not losers but confident winners in their respective teams.

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.
