LEARNING TO HELP OTHERS SUCCEED

Greetings and welcome dear readers of this prestigious platform, especially to all those who make daily life in the #projecthope community. The topic we will share this time, is related to leadership and how effective and influential people, are armed with the tools, techniques and strategies necessary to promote leadership in their work team, so that together they pursue the same purpose, which should be directed in terms of obtaining the vision that a principle has been shaped for a particular project or venture.

In this sense and to give body to this work, we will focus on a decisive aspect shared by the great writer and international lecturer Jhon Maxwell, which has to do with the power of developing a winning, efficient, effective team that fights together to fulfill each of the tasks or objectives that have been planned, and consequently seeks to promote success in each of the members of the team in question.

So leadership goes beyond an individual issue, on the contrary, teamwork is what really allows us to achieve true effective leadership, knowing that if we want to get there fast, we can walk alone, but if we want to go far, we have to learn to walk together.

If we extrapolate the above to a basketball game, where we observe that one of the players stands out and we assume him to be a great figure, his success is nothing more than a team effort and work, where his teammates have made great sacrifices for this person to become the player he is.

So if we approach this same scenario but in this particular case, the star player of the team has to face a game alone, against the other five opponents, surely his great individual potential will not be enough, and consequently his success will be reduced to nothing, which implies that to form this successful player, eight additional hands were needed for him to achieve success throughout each of the games he plays.

Likewise, we can observe in Genesis 11 from 1 to 6 a cooperative work together, and consequently demonstrate that teamwork, generates impressive results either based on right ideas or wrong ideas, a factor that can be clearly evidenced in the sacred scripture, specifically in the construction of the tower of Babel, no doubt the ideal that these people pursued was not the right or the healthiest, but their impetus and determination of people, coupled with teamwork, makes us as a species have the vision and the ability to achieve great things.

At this point, Maxwell tells us that there are four indispensable elements that an effective team and growth-oriented leadership must fulfill, and among these are the following:

1. The team must play to win: this is an idea that must be internalized from the weakest to the strongest member of the team, so that the difference between playing to win and playing not to lose is the line that separates success from failure and effectiveness from mediocrity, consequently the attitude is decisive in this area.

2. Learn to take risks: since it is certainly much better to try and fail than to remain static, thinking about what could have been and letting our time be ephemeral without obtaining results.

3. Continue to improve: so we must not rest on our laurels, as it has been proven that this does not generate any results and therefore must take on new perspectives and constant learning that will position us in a better way for our success.

So we must learn to let go and sometimes let go of our comfort zone if we want to achieve greater things, remember a man's success is not defined by what he has, but what he becomes after facing new realities.

4. Supporting each other: we must learn to value the potential of each member of the work team, since through their contributions we can build better ideas and advance more effectively towards our objectives.

Consequently, through the elements discussed above, we can realize that leadership is built on the basis of collaboration and cooperation of others and consequently, to achieve true success we must learn to combine interpersonal relationships, a good attitude and add many expectations, because when these elements are combined, we undoubtedly generate productivity.

Grateful with the community @project.hope and with all the management team of the same one that they motivate us to continue working in a mutual and balanced growth.
