Write You - To Boldly Go Where No Team Has Ever Gone Before
You’re in the office of a Venture Capitalist. Stacked on his desk are dozens of business plans. On the table beside him are many dozens more. His secretary enters, burdened with the morning’s mail. He groans. More business plans.Is this man, who manages a VC firm, unique in his field?No. Every individual VC or VC firm is being inundated daily with people wanting investment in their ideas, their concepts, their companies. It’s
So, what am I babbling about? We read, we go to self-improvement seminars, we go to team development and in house training, but do we understand why? I actually was asked in a session by a gentleman, “can we hurry up and get through this teambuilding stuff and get back to work”? All of this stuff is what makes us better when we get back to work and if it doesn’t then shame

I usually speak to groups using the early space program and the Apollo 13 mission as an excellent example of these practices. We show clips from the movie and audios of JFK, but this time it was different.
This time we got first hand accounts of the mission and the trials and tribulations that were involved in the actual mission. This time we partnered with the commander on the mission Captain James Lovell.
At a conference in Las Vegas, NV commander Lovell shared with an audience of 260 the first hand accounts of his ordeal in space. TeamBuilders was honored to partner with one of America’s greatest hero’s tying back his experience to the Leadership Practices. As I listen to listen to him I could not help, but connect a lot of what he was saying to the books on business that we have all been reading to make ourselves successful.
When describing the situations and the outcomes of the mission he said that success was depended on three key factors.
1. Dealing with change – any organization or its members that cannot deal with, adapt to, and take advantage of change will not make it today. They obviously where not happy with change during that mission, but they also knew that complaining about it and hoping it goes away wasn’t going to fix it. Change is inevitable and change requires different solutions and different processes. As TeamBuilders has shared with many of you it’s about doing different to do more. We must Challenge the Process – The Leadership Challenge
2. Understanding the situation and doing something about it. - Hope is not a plan and when adversity strikes we have to dig dip and hit it head on. How many times in our business are we approached with challenges that impacted our business? We don’t hope to improve market shares, we don’t hope the economy is going to get better, but we Confront the Brutal. Yet Never Lose Faith – Good to Great
3. Commitment to a Common Goal – Regardless of rank or job function everyone new what had to be done and no one questioned when they were asked to do something. The goal was clear and the commitment was strong. Ego was checked and every action, decision and behavior was for the success of the Mission, which by the way changed…drastically. Commitment and Attention to Results – The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

A structured settlement is an arrangement where instead of a lump sum of cash being awarded to a claimant, a tax-free periodic payment is agreed. Structured settlements are often used in guardianship cases, workers compensation cases, wrongful death cases and severe injury cases. Research has indicated that the more severe the injury, the more likely it will be that a structured settlement will be used.The first thing that you may be asking

If you take a look at just about any profession, you’ll find that people evolve through three stages: novice, competent and expert. Let’s take a look at how this works in the trading profession.A novice trader is a one trick pony. They have one trading style they cling to for dear life. When they perceive that it no longer works, they’ll find a new system and believe with all their might that THIS is the way… until it too shows itself to

As I close this month’s letter I would to say how proud and impressed I am with our clients and the hard work you have out into just being better. I have seen so many of you grow over the past eight years and we at TeamBuilders are proud to have been part of that. I will leave you now with one simple thought and hat is the definition of a TEAM. Ask yourself if this is your group? Until next month…
A team is members of a diverse group of people who struggle for shared aspirations (a common goal) with measurable performance and accountability.
