How important is ‘Wellbeing” in high-performance teams? For a lot of leaders in sales-driven businesses, Wellbeing is often seen as an inconvenience or a distraction. Whether it is recruitment, trading, estate agency or some other kind of target-based environment, a lot of people see it as EITHER: — Everyone just gets on with the task. There is no time for getting caught up in personal drama…and sales are high OR — We have a nurturing, supportive environment…and mediocre sales I speak with owners of recruitment businesses every day, and it is quite clear that most fall into one of these two camps. The ‘High-Performance’ culture leaders do not see the value in supporting their teams on a personal level, unless it is a top biller who is struggling with something specific... Whereas the ‘Nurturing’ leaders invest time and energy into promoting positive wellbeing, but are then concerned about whether they are giving permission for average performance. In reality, it doesn’t have to be one extreme or the other. You CAN have a ‘High-Performance’ culture that encourages wellbeing. You can develop a team where everyone communicates well, is focused on the task, works consistently, challenges each other, wants to be at the top of the leaderboard, is financially motivated, brings positive energy and is willing to pick up the phone….AND looks after their own mental, emotional, physical wellbeing. If your people feel respected and listened to, they will work hard. If they are working on their own self-awareness, they will be more receptive to feedback. Investing time and resources into Wellbeing isn’t a concession to average productivity. You can have a highly motivated, present AND happy workforce by looking after them as human beings. If you are trying to create a high-performance culture yourself, and are getting stuck in certain areas, please get in touch as I have several case studies I can share with you. #highperformance #mindset #wellbeing #sales
