2. INTRODUCTION

Great leaders almost always have a natural drive for building and
leading an elite team. Leading elite teams takes persistence and
professional development. The leader must constantly be evaluating
his or herself’s performance and taking action based on regular
feedback.
3. CREATE A LEADERSHIP
ENVIRONMENT
Consider the caliber of the team members
at all levels. See what kind of attitude of
service and loyalty they have to the
person on their right or left. Elite teams
have leaders at all levels. Leaders carry
authorities and people do what they say.
Emergent leaders take charge in the
absence of orders and inspire those
around them.

4. MANAGE THROUGH
ADAPTIVE CHANGE
Over time, all businesses will
experience change and it is important
to be adaptive in growing businesses.
Great leaders know when it’s time to
change, even if it means changing
something drastic about your business.
This can be a scary thought for team
members and often things get worse
before they get better.

5. MANAGE THROUGH
ADAPTIVE CHANGE
(COUNT.)
If there is a change happening in the business there
are a few key things from leadership that need to take
place. First thing, you need to communicate what the
change is and why the change is needed. Second, you
need to make sure every single team member
understands how this change will impact them and
what it is that is required of them. Third, make sure
the team is aware of what the leadership is doing in
order to provide support and resources during this
difficult period of change. Last, over communication is
key to obtain feedback.

6. MAKE THE TEAM FEEL SAFE
There is a difference between management
and leadership. They have different
disciplines. You cannot manage a team into
combat. A team must be led and they need to
feel safe in a combat situation. It is all about
trust and loyalty. Trusting your leadership
and team members is key to having an
overwhelming sense of comfort. When
everything turns upside down, you are still
fighting to protect your teammates and
nothing more.
