EP #233: Winning Teams Need Generosity
Generosity is necessary for team success.
I like to think of it as the foundation of a terrific culture because it’s so encouraging to people. Anyone can jump on board and feel like they are important - contributing factor to the productivity and the encouragement.
There’s nothing more encouraging than encouraging someone, right?
This episode is about the most important reasons why a generous team is a winning team. I think you can have some periodic success without winning but the definition will likely be warped and it will be fleeting.
Sustained success is about everyone’s workplace experience. Don’t let me define it for you but this is at least a good measure. Rarely is a team filled with fulfilled people and be not effective at it’s mission.
Keep these concepts in mind as you build your generous workplace culture and let your team know about it.
Have a generous day with your team. 🤝
