Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it's amazing what they can accomplish.

Being a member of the Saint George Auto Sales team, watching everyday our business grow and get enriched by new people, new clients and bigger hopes and dreams, i have picked up some tips which might be useful for some of you running a business, or even working with a team!
1. Have a plan: often business owner get caught in the day-to-day operation and just trying to get through the day with its ups and downs... But having a plan is much smarter, look ahead, look around you and plan a path for your business!
2. Take Actions: Writing a plan on draft isn't just enough yet, have a weekly meeting with your team, check the progress of your goals and asses them... assign tasks and deadlines to all of your team managers and make sure you get a weekly meeting with them just to talk about that!
3. Time to go social!: no matter what business are you in, Social media and networking has become one of the Must-Have of our times! let's not underestimate the power of people... one way marketing is almost in the dark now... it is now time for interactive 2 ways marketing tools! communicate to your target audience, get a brand personality and character!
4. D.E.L.E.G.A.T.E: I understand you are a business owner, fully attached to your business and investments but if you want to grow, you have to let your team grow too! you can't be in 4 places at once! Trust your team, delegate and let them report results... Adjust or give further instructions afterwards... It will give them more sense of possibility and it will give you more space in your head to think of ways to grow your business.
5.Invest and Upgrade: No matter how big you grow, no matter how unexpected you become, never stop investing in your own place! never stop looking for upgrades, upgrading your location, equipment, even in knowledge, invest in your team.. the more you invest the more you get in returns!
6. Be a Real Family: We hear a lot of people saying, yeah our colleagues are like family, but are they truly? It is all up to you! The atmosphere you create around your team is the one they are going to stick to! creating a real family at work is one of the hardest things a manager can actually achieve specially among sales teams! Celebrate your team birthdays, new baby born, be there for them when they need you... as they say, in sickness and in health, till resignation do us apart!
7. Celebrate your success: and don't cry over your failures! No matter how busy we get, always find the time to celebrate with your team! New targets, new openings, new beginnings, new achievements and New Challenges!!! Celebrate like a true family! Go out have a fun night out! it will change your world....
Last but not least i would like to share this quote for you to share it with your teams!
Remind them everyday that the success of only of them means the success of everyone else in the team!
Winning teams have the least amount of distractions. They have a really tight group of people working towards the same common goal.Larry Dixon
