When all the emerging leaders on your team are working towards a common goal you have efficiency.

When you’re leveraging the strengths and skills of your team members you create a culture of collaboration. This allows more existing and new team members to support one another.

In turn, this drives each individual and the team toward success.

The key takeaway for you to run with here is leveraging the strengths and skills of your team members.

Few women wouldn’t jump at the opportunity to share their best practices when you compliment her and praise her for her creativity, ideas, and success.

Most will feel flattered and honored to be asked to share with the team.

You can do this in a variety of formats. You can interview her. Offer to take questions from the team prior and have a Q and A session at the end.

Ensure you give practical tips and how-to’s. If there are any supporting materials this team member used, make sure to have links and easy access to these for others.

You could even do a giveaway for some of the items being mentioned and shared.

At the end of each of these team member shares, always open up the invitation to the rest of the team. Let them know you’re looking to share best practices, strengths, and skills with them.

Have an easy way for them to raise their hand and let you know they’ve had success and are open to sharing. Maybe it’s a Google doc. Maybe it’s a direct text or email with you, however you work best.

The most effective way to leverage the strengths and skills of any member of your team is to notice what they’re doing and personally ask.

It’s so flattering to be complimented. Especially by you. And don’t wait. If you have a brand new team member who had a quick win go ahead and let her know you want to share this with the team.

Make a big big deal about it.

And don’t forget about the team members that have been around awhile. They’ve stuck with you and stuck with your company. They plug along and don’t quit. They have strengths and skills others can learn from just the same.

Don’t limit who you highlight and why to only numbers and rank advancements. You can leverage so much more if you focus on the behaviors of team members not just the results those behaviors lead to. Right?!

If you have someone with strengths and skills around anything related to marketing feature this. I’m talking Pinterest, email campaigns, social media reels, text broadcasts, sampling products, or creative in-person activities, have them share their best practices.

And have them come back in a month and share the outcome. You can do it in 2 steps.

But don’t wait to share the ins and outs of these great tools. There will be so many creative ideas and so many women on your team who offer their style and approach. Leveraging these skills and strengths is key to building a culture of collaboration and teamwork.

I can’t wait to hear how you go about featuring these amazing women and their best practices. Will you share it with us? Click over to Instagram @yourcrazybigdreams and let us know! I can’t wait to connect.

The best is yet to come. Always.
