Good Old Days

Tonight I was able to spend time with my former team that I led for the past 2 years. It is amazing to see how peoples lives change over time. With in such a short time some of us have went from salesperson to engineer, new babies on the way, and some have went back to what is comfortable (working in the same industry).

One of the things I loved about this group is that we won and lost as a team. We helped each other learn and without them I would not be the leader I am today. We can laugh now about the challenges that we faced each day and how we handled what we felt were "Major" problems. Although we have not worked together hand in hand for about a year it is like old times when we meet up. We give each other feedback, we trust each other, and we do not judge one another.

Building trust is a key to any team and once this happens teams can become great. It seems simple but it takes time, emotion and communication. Trust....
