So, friends – you’ve heard this aphorism before.
We are taught to think about the success of the team – and to downplay the self-interests of the individual.
Here is another perspective.
There is no way a person can think of the team success without knowing what’s in it for them as an individual first. Our whole evolution – our selfish gene – has programmed us to think about our interests first. 🤔
So, if you are a people leader and you want your people to prioritise the success of the team, then your STARTING POINT is to understand the interests of each individual first.
💓 KNOW them – learn what it means to truly SEE and HEAR them.
💖 APPRECIATE and VALUE them first.
Only when you have done this, will you have earned the right to say, “there is no I in team”.
Because then, your team – made up of individuals who feel valued – will back you all the way.
