relationships are the key to the team approach

Relationship Tip #7:

Eliminate Blind Spots! How are blind spots affecting your team? Post this list of famous blind spots somewhere visible to your team to remind them that we can miss opportunities when we are blind to them. Discuss what opportunities your team could be missing regularly due to blind spots:

"Everything that can be invented has been invented." Charles H Duell, US Patent Office, 1899
"Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?' Harry Warner, Warner Bros. 1927
"Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote" Grover Cleveland, 1905
"Ruth made a big mistake when he gave up pitching" Tris Speaker, 1921

Serving Teams & Team Leaders for Over 20 Years!

For over 20 years we have been supporting teams, team leaders, and team facilitators with products and services designed to enhance relationships. Some choose to call the competencies we develop "soft skills". We know from years of personal experience that these "soft skills" are some of the hardest to learn and effectively use in our day-to-day interactions. Be it supervision, management, sales, customer service or just plain teamwork, relationships have been, and always will be, the key to success. Our name and our tag line say it all: The TEAM Approach - Connect & Succeed!

This web site is rich with resources as well as descriptions of our products and services. Take some time to browse. Sign up for a newslist or join us for a classroom or virtual event. Teaching training professionals how to use the excellent products we represent has become one of our core competencies. Give us a try!
