Improving your Team Performance

Thriving together as a Team

Your team should be more than 1+1 = 2.

Coordinating, managing, and motivating your team often eats up time that could have been spent getting work done. It starts seeming like having a team makes work more complicated rather than easier.

So how do you create a culture where everyone thrives and team performance is at its peak?

Here are some resources to help you create a team where 1+1=4!

FAQs

How can I hold my team accountable?

We often know how to hold people accountable, but, because we’re conflict-averse or conflict-seeking, we struggle to do it in a healthy way.

Creating a culture of accountability is about developing and communicating clear expectations, measuring progress incrementally, engaging in regular bi-directional feedback, and following through on consequences – rewarding successes and acknowledging shortcomings.

We fail to create a culture of accountability when we haven’t made clear agreements about the outcomes we’re looking for and process to get there, we don’t have frequent check-ins, and we’ve left folks to their own devices. That’s a recipe for disaster.

How do I reduce employee turnover?

High employee turnover hurts – and many of us have been there! If you have a high rate of turnover, take a look at your hiring process – are you hiring the right people? Do they have the skills and experience to do the job? Are they a good fit with your team? Are you compensating them at a competitive rate? If you’re confident that you’re hiring the right people, it might be time to take a look at your culture.

The best way to find out why your turnover is so high is to ask your employees – both the ones who are leaving and those who have decided to stick around. For culture building ideas, check out our article, Community Is Better Than Control.

How do I make my employees care more?

You don’t make your employees care more. You can’t. But that doesn’t mean you can’t increase their engagement!

People want to do meaningful work and feel like their voice matters. Create an environment where employees feel a sense of ownership and pride in their work and your business is bound to thrive.

But remember, they’re never going to care the way you care (you’re the agency owner, afterall!), and that’s okay. If you’re having trouble with team performance, check out our article, Owners Want Committed Employees.
