When you’re looking at your PSAs, who would be good candidates to invite for the Designated Diamonds (DD) program be sure you’re choosing someone for the right reasons.
Here are qualities that you should be looking for in your PSAs as you search for the right person for the Designated Diamonds program in your Movers tab, Genealogy and VP Ledger of your PSAs :
- High performance
Analyze your PSAs by making a list, Divide them into most active and just average active. Use the the filters in your Genealogy to identify your most active and average active PSAs. When you do the high performance evaluation, use parameters such as Power/ Country/Class Ranks, VersaPoints (Total, Last/This/month, Yesterday), TripleClicks referrals/Sales VP in terms of sales, and Sponsor ID to find out the progress of sponsoring activities and team building.
- Leadership skills
Evaluate the performance of your PSAs in specific areas of leadership. Successful Team Leaders tend to have certain traits. Two keys areas of personal growth and development are fundamental to leadership success: self-confidence, and a positive attitude. You can identify these traits from your PSAs through their level of participation in SFI Forum, Ask SC, EZ games, Pricebender Auctions, etc. If your PSAs are aware of all the things they have already achieved, you'll see them actively participating in growth-promoting activities of their SFI business.
Your PSAs should also demonstrate a strong sense of balance, and recognize that setbacks and problems can happen. It's how they deal with those problems that makes the difference demonstrating positive attitude and outlook. Furthermore, they should also have the ability to recognize feelings -their own and those of others – and can manage those emotions to create strong relationships.
Another important area of leadership that you need to be looking for in your PSAs is being a good role model. Good Team Leaders lead by example They do what they say, and say what they do. These types of team leaders are trustworthy, and show integrity. They get involved in daily work where needed, and they stay in touch with what's happening throughout your organization. They also demonstrate the actions and values that they expect from their own team.
If you've been providing support and stimulation to your PSAs, to be highly motivated in their development and growth, they will most likely follow your lead. You can identify which of your PSAs are very much interested through your various interactions with them.
- Communication skills
Communication skills are essential for success in Designated Diamonds program. Are you demonstrating these important skills to your PSAs? This is the first step to identify from your PSAs, if they're following your lead. Have you organized meetings with your PSAs which include brainstorming? This is one of the most effective ways of finding out the communication skills of your PSAs. As a Team Leader, you'll often have to facilitate these, so you'll need to be comfortable with doing this. There's more to this than simply coming up with creative ideas, as you do when you're just a regular participant in such a session.
Another way of finding out the communication skills of your PSAs is through their participation in SFI Forum when they provide solutions to problems or when they offer encouragement to others in SFI community.
- Active listening
Active listening is another important skill for Team Leaders to master. Are you applying this important skill in your various interactions with your PSAs? It can be easy to think that you know what others are going to say, or that listening is less important, because you've thought of a solution anyway.
Don't fall into this trap. Most good Team Leaders are active listeners: it helps them detect problems early (while they're still easy to deal with), avoid costly misunderstandings, and build trust within their teams.
Before you invite your PSAs to DD program, you should be looking for high performance, leadership skills, communication skills, a positive attitude, etc. to make sure they possess these qualities required to succeed.
