Adding yours as well Dan. You have all added great value with your thoughts. I look forward to meeting up with you soon!

Great addition to the conversation Al. I will add your framework to my resource library. Thanks for the great and powerful contribution!

Thanks Susan and I love your thoughts on respect. I took my boys to a Giants game a few years ago and would agree that they are a “team”

I’d love to go on a trip with you sometime. We’d have to bring your son along again to do the cooking though. Think about a Lead With Giants adventure trip. Hmmm.

~Identify, define and document the strengths of all team members
~Identify, define and document their personality types/tendencies
~Clearly define our vision, mission, goals/objectives AND how to grow our sphere of influence
~Set the expectation for behaviors that build trust and safety
~Define the role we all play in conflict and how to minimize it by using our strengths
~Establish an honoring feedback process that starts with me getting feedback on the quality of my leadership.

Hope you and your son are having a magnificent camping experience!

Al

I kind of disagree about not having to like each other. I think when you know, respect and trust each other, and you’re working together toward common goals, it just follows that you’ll like each other, too – and that’s when the most success happens.

I just love to watch the San Francisco Giants baseball team win a game. After the win, the team really seems to “like” each other a lot! They jump up and down like little boys , and hug each other(pure joy!). Even when they don’t win, they always seem to support each other, and it’s my impression that they are friends, as well as team members.
