Create a special team of people

In Sam Parker’s book, “Lead Simply,” he talks about a three-step leadership framework that helps leaders connect with the people they lead and create a stronger team.

• Model the behavior you want to see.

• Connect with the people you lead.

• Involve them as much as possible.

Seems, well, pretty simple. Getting the right team in place can take time. But once you do, it’s important to have a day-to-day, in-the-trenches formula for creating that special team of people that does meaningful work, in addition to making things better for the company each and every day.
