Thoughts that every team
who wants to be successful,
should understand...

2.
There is no “I” in T
eam
For anyone who is thinking about the joke
of the team
above...the "i" is still part

3.
Success
Is a summation of failures, which in the end will amount
to a successful outcome

4.
Failure
Is a step closer to a goal in the future

5.
Luck
People think it is luck that brings success, but luck is a booster to speed up
progress
so as to climb the failure ladder which leads to success, there are unicorns in the
industry which had great luck…but they all had the failure ladder to climb

6.
Failing Fast
In order to move to the next step of the ladder, ultimately leading to success, one
needs to fail fast. Why, because as soon as you know you have failed, you’ll get
the next boost to try something different.

T
ools & Technology
Having the greatest tools and using the latest tech does not imply that you’ll be
successful. The mindset of how to use the tools and technology makes the
difference.

8.
Motivation
People have different kinds of motivations these might be salary, feeling useful, pride,
power, learning, co-workers, perks etc…motivation is a mixture of all these which
equate to super charged productivity.
Different people have a different mix of ever changing attributes which give them
motivation, learning what these attributes are at any point in time is the holy grail of
people management.
By creating a team mindset, you’ll be able to create common attributes shared by the
team, which can be easily boosted for more productivity.

9.
Perception of Failure
There are different ways that people embrace failure, they can blame tools, they can
blame
people, they can blame bad luck etc. Only people who actually learn from failures and feel
that what they learnt will move them forward, are the one’s which move up the success
ladder.

10.
Communication
It is important to communicate failure and more importantly progress, by making
failure and progress visible to all the team, one will feel more empowered to
continue stepping up the ladder.

11.
People, Processes &
Technology
People should always come first, then processes and finally technology.
What does this mean? If people’s mindset is not focused, then they will blame
processes and tech. On the other hand once the people’s mindset is geared to
achieve a common goal, processes should be done to standardise day to day
tasks…tech can come last or at the same time when creating processes.

Thanks hope this will give you a better insight
on what makes a successful team.
