Building a Team Environment (Part 1)

JOHN MAXWELL
About this episode

You've probably heard John say this before, "One is too small of a number to achieve greatness." In other words, if we're going to accomplish anything of significance, we need a team around us. In this series, John teaches how to build a team environment for winning. He teaches us the ten questions leaders must ask themselves in order to assess whether or not they're building a winning team environment.

In part one, John teaches the first five questions to help you determine if you're building a winning team. In the application portion of the episode, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow discuss setting team expectations and how accountability is impossible unless those expectations are crystal clear.

Our BONUS resource for this series is the Building a Team Environment Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/Team and clicking "Download the Bonus Resource."
