Give Your Team Freedom

Does it seem like you are the only one who can get the job done? Then it’s time to focus on your team building skills as a Grange leader. After you have identified as many skills that would be helpful in accomplishing the task, and you have recruited a team, it is time to give your team freedom.
Communicate clearly to the team what they are responsible for accomplishing. Make sure that they understand you will assist them, but how they accomplish their goal is their decision. This is one of the hardest things to do as a leader. Give the team freedom to create their own roadmap to success.
Be sure to have the team leader (chairman) understand that the team will be deciding things. Teams work when each member contributes to the plan and each member knows that their ideas will be considered and may be incorporated into the team plan. Team leaders guide and facilitate, but do not dictate.
Take the next step in team building and become a better leader in your Grange!
