In this episode, Dan Sullivan and Shannon Waller discuss the many ways entrepreneurs can take advantage of teamwork, and outline the extraordinary benefits that come with having great teamwork at your company.Here’s some of what you’ll learn in this episode:How Dan involves himself less and less with what Strategic Coach® team members are doing.Why Dan doesn’t worry about how team members achieve results.What opportunities open up for entrepreneurs when they rely on team members.The greatest compliment Dan can give a team member.How Dan communicates the goals of a new project.The three questions Dan asks himself every time he gets an idea for a new achievement.Show Notes:The more you work on teamwork, the more you can refine what you’re uniquely good at.It’s useful to think of your entrepreneurial business as a theater production, regardless of what industry you’re in.There’s a vast amount of teamwork happening back stage in theater to make the whole production work.Teamwork on your projects can improve but only if you’re improving too—and providing maximum support to your team members.We are taught from an early age that we have to do the work on our own goals ourselves.Instead of taking on an activity yourself, ask who can do it better than you.At the heart of it, Strategic Coach is designed to get you to think about your thinking.When you decided to become an entrepreneur, you declared to the world that you’re not going to play other people's games—you’re going to play your own game. By communicating clearly, you leave so much room open for teamwork.Generally, when entrepreneurs have a big possibility and they're uncertain about it, they get paralyzed.Uncertainty is not a lack of confidence. It's just a lack of knowledge or information. A lot of entrepreneurs live their lives very certain, but not confident.Don’t try to sell your team on an idea until you’re sold on it yourself.Resources:Unique Ability®Blog: Your Business Is A Theater Production: Your Back Stage Shouldn’t Show On The Front StageBook: Who Not How by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin HardyTool: The Impact Filter™The Kolbe A™ Index
