Colored ThreadIn building real estate businesses or working on ANY kind of project in life the team leader has got to realize they are not all knowing and all powerful in everything.

Remember That A Tapestry Is Not Made From One Colored Thread.

Through keen observation or personality tests like the DISC profiling or others, learn that some are more detail oriented, others more big picture, some have artistic or analytical or technical skills, while some around you may have gifts of hospitality or nurturing. Do not put a judgment on someone when you find them lacking in one skilll area as they will probably more than make up for it in another area.

 

Needle

So just remember your own strengths, YOUR COLOR and talent, and sew that into the tapestry, the project, the work along with the skills of everyone else.

This way you will make a beautiful work of art.

Good Morning Gary, An excellent reminder that we each bring a part ( an important  part) to the life experience and others will bring other and different parts. It takes all of us to weave this thing of beauty called life. No thread , no color , no stitch is unimportant.

Gary this is so true, we each have our own special color that we can bring to the table.  I love your analogy of the tapestry.  That word always involves images of Carole King one of my all time favorite songwriters.

Great analogy! Every color is pretty and every color has value. The tapestry would be of lesser beauty for the lack of even just one color.

This is a great reminder that even a team leader will have weaknesses.  The trick is to recognize your weaknesses and find team members who have strengths in those areas, and to know how to utilize each team member's strengths.  I like the tapestry thought.

Great Gary! We ALL have talents and weaknesses - we just need to be reminded of those talents when we are at our weakest points.  Thanks for sharing.

Gary:  It really is a must to know the strengths of those around you.  Helps when you are having difficulty with a client.  If they don't like working with you, you need to know who to refer them to.  Recognizing our differences can be a great thing.

Great Analogy!  I do not know if you are familiar with Emergenitics, but I have participatied in the training with a dear friend and excellent trainer in that program. Harold Suire is a fantastic Instructor, but it is all about the same theory.  You stated it beautifully.

Gary, thanks for a nice reminder!  My team has been talking a lot about personality styles; Driver, Analytical, Expressive, Amiable.. We tend to quickly judge. I will now take a different look. Thanks!

Team - as in more than one person, which means there are others with different strengths that you all get to draw off of.  No team of one ever worked out.

Gary - Good points about team building.  Like the colors of a tapestry, the people who make up a successful team have different talents and personalities that often compliment each other.  If, not, it's rarely a successful team because everybody would be competing for the same tasks and there would be no delegating ...and many power struggles.
