While social media and a litany of gadgetry have streamlined our ability to connect and interact, there will never be a substitute for stout communication skills. Focusing on these time-honored skills and building better teams in business follows the same principals of raising better kids—yet it can prove more difficult because of the lack of the familial connection that makes us willing dedicate our time and sacrifice for our children. It requires a commitment and an involvement that can be difficult for many people, and it also requires conflict and asks the leader to not always be the most popular person. Remember, great coaches are coaches, not buddies, they should be respected by all team members and should be focused on making everyone—individually and collectively—better, more prepared and more successful—today and tomorrow.
