Show Highlights:
- Dr. Sabrina discusses how she’s mindful of the work culture at Tap the Potential and shares her favorite things about team meetings.
- When there’s a high turnover rate in the business, it is a huge time and energy drain and causes us to lose money when we’re constantly having to hire and train.
- Warm bodies on the team that are tolerated are another cause of time and energy drain.
- When you have A-players on your team and teach them how to utilize and work from their strengths, the whole team becomes highly focused on keeping people in their strengths and reduces drag by shifting responsibilities around if somebody is operating outside their strengths.
- Parkinson’s Law and the Pareto principle: If you aren’t familiar with how these relate to being more effective in our businesses, Dr. Sabrina and Stacey give some insight!
- You need to understand the psychology of A-players in order to attract them to your team. Part of this involves making a culture that celebrates and supports the A-player mentality. Be cautious that your policies and procedures do not deter and repel your A-players and best clients.
- As business owners, it’s very important for us to have outside feedback when building our strong teams. Clients in the Better Business, Better Life™ get that perspective and objective feedback from the other program members who are outside the business.
- We need thinking time and time to reflect on powerful questions.
- Creating a culture of safety, security, and trust allows team members to feel comfortable with sharing their ideas.
- Dr. Sabrina covers the steps of transitioning from a present culture to a chosen culture.
- Dr. Sabrina defines the characteristics of an A-player.
- If it’s not good for the client, if it’s not good for the team member, it’s not going to be in the best interest of the company. The company exists to take care of the team members, the business owner, and the clients.
