Don't neglect development and education
Only employees who develop continuously can achieve long-term success. Remember that the world is constantly evolving and belongs to those who can adapt to these changes.
Prepare scenarios for crisis situations
The difference between long-term and short-term successful teams often lies in their ability to respond effectively to crises. Entrepreneur advises preparing plans for various, even broadly defined, crisis scenarios that may occur in the future.
Build processes that are flexible and can be changed quickly
Your team's work processes should be functional but also flexible. They must be easily adjustable if unexpected developments or changes occur.
Create a team of people who get along personally
Good relationships and a willingness to collaborate are the bonds that hold team members together. They help in overcoming challenges and achieving long-term success.
Learn to delegate work
Successful and effective delegation is the foundation of success. If you as a manager and the team as a whole lack this ability, you are likely to struggle when faced with an unexpected surge of tasks.
Give subordinates sufficient autonomy
A centrally and strictly managed team cannot be flexible enough to face the obstacles and challenges of today’s dynamic environment. Build a team of independently working and thinking individuals who have their own autonomy and make sound decisions even when you are focused on other tasks.
Listen to subordinates
Your employees are a valuable source of ideas and initiatives. Not all of these ideas will be actionable, but many often are. Listen to your team members and don't consider yourself the only person capable of contributing constructive suggestions.
