Be daring, be driven & be down to earth - Facilitate not Control

Before stating this we must say that there is no artificial or crafty way of doing this. We really need to feel before we can pull this off. It has to be real. If as a person we do not like people – this is virtually impossible to accomplish.
There are enough and more smart people around. Quickly (very quickly) we need to understand who is good at what and then just deploy their skills where they are needed the most. From there on we just keep checking on how they are doing.
The question to ask teammates is not “how is work?” but “are you happy?” If they are happy they will talk to you more. If they see that you are more interested in what they are feeling that just what they are doing, they will consider you to be a friend and partner. And when friends work together, they can do wonders. Just recollect how easy it is for us to tell our close friend – “we can do so much together, if we have our own business, you and I can do wonders!” Friendship is the bond that we need to build among our colleagues. Everything else will follow.
