Is there a thing longer available as helping your affiliates TOO much?
Interesting question, I answer with these guidelines that I hope you can clarify what to do with your affiliates.
You can count on a reliable team member who gets work done and does His fair share to work hard and meet commitment are. He or she follows through on assignments. Consistency is key. You can count on him or her to deliver good performance all the time, not just some of the time.
Teams need people who speak up and express their thoughts and ideas clearly, directly, honestly, and with respect for others and for the work of the team. That's what it means-to communicate constructively. Such a team member does not shy away from making a point but makes it in the best way possible - in a positive, confident, and respectful manner.
Good listeners are essential for teams to function effectively. Teams need team players who can absorb, understand, and Consider ideas and points of view from other people without debating and arguing every point. Such a team member can receive criticism without reacting defensively. Most important, for effective communication and problem solving, team members need the discipline to listen first and speak second So THAT meaningful dialogue results.
Good team players are active participants. They come prepared for team meetings and listen and speak up in discussions. They're fully engaged in the work of the team and do not sit passively on the sidelines.
Team members who function as active participants take the initiative to help make things happen, and they volunteer for assignments. Their whole approach is can-do: "What contribution can I make to help the team Achieve success?"
Good team players share. They're willing to share information, knowledge, and experience. They take the initiative to keep other team members informed.
Much of the communication takes place informally within teams. Beyond discussion at organized meetings, team members need to feel comfortable talking with one another and passing along important news and information day-to-day. Good team players are active in this informal sharing. They keep other team members in the loop with information and expertise That helps get the job done and prevents surprises.
Cooperation is the act of working with others and acting together to accomplish a job. Effective team players work this way by second nature. Good team players, despite differences they may have with other team members concerning style and perspective, figure out ways to work together to solve problems and get work done. They reserved respond to requests for assistance and take the initiative to offer help.
Teams often deal with changing conditions - and often create changes themselves. Good team players roll with the punches; they adapt to ever-changing situations.
In additions, a flexible team member can consider different points of views and compromise a when needed. He or she does not hold rigidly to a point of view and argue it to death, especially a when the team needs to move forward to make a decision or get something done. Strong team players are firm in their thoughts yet open to what others have to offer - flexibility at its best.
Strong team players care about their work, the team, and the team's work. They show up every day with this care and commitment up front. They want to give a good effort, and they want other team members to do the same.
Teams, of course, deal with problems. Sometimes, it appears, that's the whole reason why a team is created - to address problems. Good team players are willing to deal with all kinds of problems in a solutions-oriented manner. They're problem-solvers, not problem-dwellers, problem-blamers, or problem-avoiders. They do not simply rehash a problem the way problem-dwellers do. They do not look for others to fault, as the blamers do. And they do not put off dealing with issues, the way avoiders do.
Team players get problems out in the open for discussion and then collaborate with others to find solutions and form action plans.
Team players treat fellow team members with courtesy and consideration - not just some of the time but consistently. In additions, they show understanding and the appropriate support of other team members to help get the job done. They do not place conditions on a when they'll Shops provide assistance, a when they'll choose to listen, and when to they'll share information. Good team players also have a sense of humor and know how to have fun (and all teams can use a bit of both), but they do not have fun at someone else's expense. Quite simply, effective team players deal with other people in a professional manner.
Team players who show commitment do not come in any particular style or personality. They do not need to be rah-rah, cheerleader types. In fact, they may even be soft-spoken, but they are not passive. They care about what the team is doing and they Contribute to its success - without needing to push.
Team players with commitment look beyond their own piece of the work and care about the team's overall work. In the end, their commitment is about winning - not in the sports sense of beating your opponent but about seeing the team succeed and knowing they have contributed to this success. Winning as a team is one of the great motivators of employee performance. Good team players have and show this motivation.
Good luck, best regards.
