As a manager you can be instrumental in creating a winning mentality that ultimately ensures the success of you and your team.

Page 4: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

Here are some key points to consider for creating a winning team mentality.

Be Results Driven

Page 7: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

A great way to keep your team focused on winning and being successful in all they do is to make sure they do not lose sight of their goals.

Page 8: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

If you are working on projects that are broken up into smaller or more arduous tasks, keeping a focus on the desired end result and the big picture is the best way to keep employees positive and motivated.

Page 9: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

Regularly remind your team of the overarching goals in meetings, reviews and conversations.

Be Goal Driven

If your organisation provides incentives, such as targeted bonuses or internal competitions, don’t be afraid to keep your team focused on them.

Page 13: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

Obviously bonuses aren’t everything – but incentives like these are designed to motivate employees; so mentioning them alongside team goals in one-on-one or (if appropriate) group meetings can be highly effective in driving your team towards their goals.

Keeping individuals focused on their personal incentives can keep them motivated on what winning means to them – leading to better results for the wider team.

Set an Example

Page 17: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

The attitude of a manager can be extremely influential on that of their employees and team members.

Page 18: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

It is really important for any manager or leader to convey the attitudes and behaviours that they expect to see from their team.

Page 19: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

Display a positive attitude, with a strong work-ethic in meetings and let your team see that you take the tasks you are focused on seriously.

Acknowledge Contributions

Page 21: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

Ensure that your team’s contributions and talents are recognised.

Page 22: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

Take the time in meetings to acknowledge the contributions of one or two individuals.

Page 23: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

It is important to focus on those who have performed particularly well, but you should also try to give everyone equal recognition over time.

Page 24: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

Letting people know that their contributions are appreciated is a great way to keep them motivated and performing at a high level.

Assess and Review

Page 26: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

Work with the individuals in your team to find out what challenges they are facing and to assess how they are succeeding – or if not, what you can do to improve their performance.

Page 27: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

By regularly reviewing the work of those you are managing, you can avoid any problems building up that could have a negative effect on their overall attitude.

Page 28: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

Providing support and opportunities for two-way communication can be the best way to do this.

Consider Team-Building Exercises

Page 31: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

Team spirit can play a big part in instilling a winning team mentality.

Page 32: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

Team building exercises come in many forms, but they can be a huge factor in ensuring that your team works together and that they all share a common positive attitude.

Page 33: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

Try to understand what is most effective for the individuals within your team, an activity that is fun and provides your employees with opportunities to work together.

Page 34: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

Celebrate Accomplishments

Page 36: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

Success as a team should be celebrated as a team.

Page 37: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

As manager it is likely that you’ll want to celebrate when you and your team hits a project milestone, or achieve a major collective accomplishment.

Page 38: Management: Creating a Winning Team Mentality

These should be celebrated collectively. Whether this means celebrating in the workplace or outside of work hours as a group, you should be willing to celebrate and to reward your employees for their accomplishments!
