Just as I strive to be a leader to my team, you are a leader to each person you share Solavei with daily. As leaders, part of our responsibility is to grow and build those we lead. I was recently reading an article online titled The Five Traits All Top Performers Share. The article lists five traits to look for when interviewing a new staff member. However, I believe these traits are also important to build within the teams we lead. I have chosen three of them I believe are essential to a strong team:

Intellectual Firepower: What does this mean? This is more than being academically educated. This has to do with listening, knowing what questions to ask and what information to supply. When you are sharing Solavei with friends and family, you will begin to develop a rhythm for your conversations. The more people you talk to the more intellectual firepower you will develop. You should also make sure to familiarize yourself with the resources available to you online as well as stay up to date on announcements. Remember, know all there is to know about what you are sharing and you will build trust in your team and your new connections.

Values: Solavei is built on values and those are at the very foundation of everything we are doing to revolutionize the social commerce industry. We wanted to provide individuals with the ability to save money on what they already buy every day so they could spend that money on something more important. Then we added the ability to earn income when you share Solavei to increase the benefit to everyone involved. Remember, a single relationship has the power to change the lives of many.

Work Ethic: The dedication of a leader inspires those who he or she leads. Show your team that you are committed and you believe in your cause through your consistent work ethic. Not only will you be inspiring those you shared Solavei with, but you will be able to accomplish more, grow your network and earn more. A consistent work ethic will expand your sphere of influence, enable you to learn new leadership strategies and accomplish your goals.

I build these traits in people in my team through example, education and counsel. I look for these traits in others when adding to my team. And most importantly, I keep these in mind as I go through my day.

Which of these traits resonates the most with you? Are there other traits you look for? Tweet to @rwuerch with your thoughts!
