How to Create a Successful Team

The quality of your office is going to be determined by the quality of the team that assists you in providing health care to your patients. There are a number of things that she can do in order to build and strengthen your health care team.

People do business with people who do like, who are like them if we understand this concept. It is more important than ever before, that there is a positive chemistry among your staff members. The more your staff members enjoy working with each other better care your patients will receive.

So here are three things you can do right away, in order to build and create a successful team that is ready to assist you in providing health care to your patients.

1: You must have regular staff meetings. Although most people don't like to be in meetings they're important in order to set goals, solve problems and get everybody on the same page.

2: Design group activities that involve all staff members in a setting other than your office. Make it fun! This will not only help team members bond with each other. It should also help them bond with you

3: Constantly catch your team members doing the right thing and let them know how much you appreciate it. Then tell the rest of the staff members, what a great job that person did and be specific. Everyone wants Love, Appreciation and Respect, if you give them those three things you will have a group of highly motivated quality staff members on your team.

Let Go Jets!

Today's the big day I'm up early and I can't hardly sleep! Today could be the ultimate showdown at Dolphins Stadium and I'll be in the house. It Brett Favre versus Chad Pennington I think the football gods had this planned out right.

With hurricane Ike bearing down on South Florida it should be a balmy 90° at game time. There's nothing like a Dolphins Jets game except this game will come with historic proportions. I was fortunate enough to be in New York when the Jets acquired Favre not knowing that the first game of the season would be in my own backyard 10 minutes from my house.

The other big unknown in this game in my opinion is Ricky Williams. Will he show up to be the outstanding running back he was in his first years with a Dolphins and increase the value of the jersey I have sitting in my son's room in early tank it and go down in the first game like he did last year? Time will tell, but anyway you look at it at NFL football Dolphins versus Jets Game On!

Heineken And Burns House Companies, What a Fantastic Experience!

I just got back from a fabulous experience down in the Bahamas working with Heineken http://www.heineken.com/ and the Burns House Companies the number one distributor in the Bahamas!

The topic was change management and is as anybody knows changes isn't always easy. However this enthusiastic group of managers, supervisors and team leaders took on the task and I know they're going to achieve outstanding results!

This is the third time I've had an opportunity to work with Heineken and I have to say that whether I'm speaking in St. Lucia, Puerto Rico, or the Bahamas every person I've met in this organization is first rate. That's not easy to say in this day and age so it must be reflection on the people and the product.

Each morning, I delivered a keynote speech on leadership called Striving for Excellence to their salesforce and marketing executives. I was received enthusiastically and afterwards signed hundreds of copies of my new book Living a Championship Life A Game Plan for Success. Today I'm thinking about my friends down there in the Bahamas, who are about to experience hurricane Ike.

I know with their positive attitude and strength of leadership they will not only withstand the winds of Ike, but also the winds of change!
