• 0:27
  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:30
  coop. So let's talk about team
• 0:32
  building today. I often think in this world some
• 0:35
  people will say, well, you know, I I'm just a single employee or
• 0:39
  I'm this and they kind of marginalize their placement in
• 0:43
  the world of creating. People around you that are
• 0:47
  helpful to you, but I love to think of things like teams.
• 0:51
  Like, we all have teams. Like my family is a team, my
• 0:54
  friends are a team, my clients are a team.
• 0:56
  I love to think of it like that because it makes me feel much
• 0:59
  more in that, like, OK, I'm moving in the right direction.
• 1:03
  I have support around me. So often times people will be
• 1:08
  like, oh, you got to be a great leader.
• 1:10
  You got to be a great leader. But how do you constitute a
• 1:12
  great leader? And you got to really think
• 1:14
  about the kind of leader you want to be in your life for
• 1:17
  yourself, for your family. But there's a part of this that
• 1:21
  I think is so important and it's when you build the team around
• 1:25
  you so strong that no one can tell who the leader is and but
• 1:30
  the team knows who the leader is because you've done your job
• 1:33
  building them that way. But no one from the outside can
• 1:35
  tell who the leader is. Everybody looks at everybody
• 1:38
  like, wow, that's impressive and.
• 1:42
  It comes from not being afraid to build your people up around
• 1:47
  you, not being afraid to give credit to other people when
• 1:51
  credit is due, and not always having to take all the credit.
• 1:54
  It comes from a solid foundation of feeling confident in yourself
• 2:00
  and doing so. And when you do that, when you
• 2:04
  actually start to think that way and act that way and lift people
• 2:08
  up that way, you will be astonished.
• 2:12
  By how better, how much better you feel intellectually,
• 2:15
  emotionally about the process of it all.
• 2:19
  Because it is so gratifying to be able to have a situation
• 2:25
  where you can watch someone else thrive and you know you had
• 2:29
  something to do with it, but you don't need to take credit for
• 2:32
  it. You let them just go out there
• 2:34
  and shine you. You just let them be themselves
• 2:39
  and you see it. They know you helped them for
• 2:42
  sure. And if they don't give you that
• 2:43
  credit, Oh well, you know what? That's OK.
• 2:46
  They might be too young. They might be too rigid in their
• 2:51
  process of what they're thinking still, but it doesn't matter
• 2:53
  because you've done a great job doing your role, which is
• 2:58
  building that team so strong that they can't tell who the
• 3:01
  leader is now. Some of you might be saying,
• 3:04
  well, there's a risk in that because then I won't get credit
• 3:06
  and I won't get the raise and I won't get the promotion if it's
• 3:09
  in the situation at work. And I say this, If you're truly
• 3:14
  on point and you are truly doing things the right way, you will.
• 3:20
  Always come out on top. And sometimes that top maybe
• 3:23
  doesn't look like you're staying where you're staying or you're
• 3:25
  moving on or you're doing something else.
• 3:27
  Because remember, if you're really practicing spiritual
• 3:31
  optimism like we talked about the other day, you're going to
• 3:34
  be able to flip into that quickly and you're not going to
• 3:37
  think, okay, this is the end of it.
• 3:39
  This is, you know, there have been times where I have left
• 3:41
  roles where I was convinced that was part of my identity and I
• 3:45
  left the role and it was hard for me to let go of that piece
• 3:49
  so that. I could go somewhere else, but
• 3:51
  once I did and I was able to cultivate that other piece of
• 3:54
  myself, my career took off and it was a scary walk across that
• 4:01
  plank. But let me tell you, it was
• 4:03
  worth it. But it was based on the fact
• 4:05
  that I was willing to go off and build something better than what
• 4:09
  I had and let go of it and to be really clear with.
• 4:14
  I'm going to be optimistic about it.
• 4:15
  So if your thoughts are, I don't want to practice this building
• 4:19
  everybody up so that no one can tell because I'm afraid of what
• 4:21
  I'll lose it. It doesn't work that way.
• 4:24
  In the process of you doing this, you will be surprised at
• 4:27
  how many rewards you get for this.
• 4:30
  And when you are building your team so strong that no one can
• 4:34
  tell who the boss is, you are going to be utterly surprised by
• 4:38
  how much love and. Adoration and everything else
• 4:42
  that you're going to get back for it, it just works that way.
• 4:46
  You have to kind of trust back to that optimistic side.
• 4:50
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 4:53
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
