Start by asking yourself a few valuable questions. Why does your business exist? Why do you need a team? Why are you asking your team to perform a specific task? These shouldn’t be difficult questions for you to answer, but your employees won’t likely consider them during their daily shifts. You must explore the answers to these questions and then share them with your team. By doing so, you’re giving them a purpose behind any request. When you have the right players, sharing this information helps them get on board and emotionally connect to the business. When everyone is working toward the same goal, it creates a more friendly and productive work environment. Trust goes both ways. Many business owners live with the idea that it’s my way or the highway. This does not create a great work environment. If you want your team to trust in you and what you say, you need to reciprocate it. This is a slow process and will take time to build. Don’t micromanage your team unless you have to. You hired them to do a job and take on specific responsibilities, so let them. If you find this challenging, start small. Delegate smaller tasks to your team until they’ve fully earned your trust. Then, you can pass off more significant responsibilities. This will help you build influence with your team while giving you more time to focus on tasks vital to your business’s success.

Be clear with your expectations. Don’t be vague. You must be clear with your team and share your expectations to achieve the desired results. Sometimes, your employees won’t know exactly what they must do to accomplish your goals. Walk them through specific tasks when necessary and explain what the result should be. Once your team understands what they need to do and why it’s crucial to the business’s overall success, they’ll be less likely to make mistakes. When your team believes in your business and everything you’re trying to accomplish, you’ll notice immediate boosts within every aspect of your business.
