The best way to build a team comprised of people who are loyal, trustworthy and who walk in integrity is to create a role model for them to follow. That’s right…you! The “trickle down” effect is most evident in the integrity of the people within an organization. Generally you can observe the workers to determine the type of leadership they have. If you walk in integrity, so will your staff.
The best way to create such a “dream team” is to work with your team; make sure they know what they’re supposed to know, train them, mentor them, and let them shadow you. As individuals grow, expand their responsibilities to “bridge” over to greater opportunities. We’re not talking about the distraction and fragmentation of “multi-tasking” here; we’re talking about learning one job, doing it well, and assuming additional responsibilities to learn another job.
As a manager, conform your actions to the needs of the organization and to the needs of your employees. Be all things to all people (in other words, do whatever it takes). Be diligent in following through with your team.
Only by demonstrating yourself as a trustworthy, dependable, understanding person will you be able to inspire loyalty and trust from your staff and volunteers.
