New to leadership? Top performer just quit?

Don’t worry. Here are five sure-fire steps to building (or rebuilding) a team.

1)  Assess Quickly.  
Assessing a team within the first 90 days of taking a leadership position is critical.  Look cautiously at workload as well as individual strengths, then at the team itself.  Determine what training should be in place in order to bring them to the next level.  Watch.  Listen.  Conclude.  While each team member should be able to perform their job, each member may also have an added value.  Figure out what their talent is, outside of their skill set.  Ensure that you point it out publicly to the employee, so they see you value them as a person and not just a means to an end.
