Think of your business as a sports team. The manager is the coach and the employees are the players. Treat each other with respect and you will be the winning team. You have to work together in order to have a successful team. As the coach you have to come up with a strategy that will work for the team.

You have to manage your business similar to how a coach manages a team. You have to have all of the right players, but at the same time you will have a lot of different players. You have to help manage everyone working together and you have to work through everyone’s strengths and weaknesses. While working together with all of the right people, you’ll manage to bring out the right strengths in all of the team players or in this case, employees.

INSTANT MBA: Build Team Chemistry Like A Sports Coach
I agree with this article 100%, a company should be ran like a sports team. The keyword is team! Certain people play certain position which makes everything work. If someone falls short of their duties there's always someone right by their side to help them get back on their feet.

I like Paul's theory that you risk poisoning your team by keeping talented by ill fitting employees around. He's gone so far as to let go of talented professionals who simply didn't "fit" in with his team. THAT says a lot about a boss! Any boss (in my opinion) who goes to that extreme to keep the morale of his team at a high level is certainly a boss that I'd like to work for. The principal I work for now pretty much follows that same philosophy. I interviewed with her initially, but then I had to go back in for an interview with two other teachers. That interview was even more difficult than the first! She wanted to be sure, though, that the team would work well with me and I with them. She was right in doing so as we are a great group that consistently works together, in good times and in bad, for the benefit of our students.

This is a great analogy pertaining to business. As a leader you want to make sure you have a well functioning team that is able to work well together and shine individually. As the leader you want to be able to make the calls that will lead your team to succes, but also have faith that they will be able to reach goals and make important decisions on their own. It is essential to work as a well oiled machine in order to achieve the business goals successfuly and in a timely manner.

Instant MBA: Build Team Chemistry Like A Sports Coach
Managing is almost like being a coach of a sports team. You have to train, teach, and build the confidence in your employees, and in coaching as well. This concept is good because working as a team and not depending on one person is very important. A manager should do team building exercises so employees would be comfortable with each other and the productivity in the company will be better.

INSTANT MBA: Build Team Chemistry Like A Sports Coach .
It is important for everyone on the New Orleans Saints to work together. It is even better if you can realize what the quarterback and the rest of your teammates are thinking. This happens by chemistry. Relationships can blossom with chemistry not only in a romantic way, but in the sports field or even in the work place. You need the "right mix of team members". Every person has strengths and weaknesses. A leader is someone who helps highlight a person's strengths so that when the team comes together they are all able to bring great ideas to the table.

I think it is important to have people on your team who work well together. Having two people on a team that clash with ideas or personalities can be a recipe for failure. It may create unnecessary conflicts while at the workplace that can jeopardize work being completed on time or done correctly. People who work well together will get less distracted, and be more productive.

INSTANT MBA: Build Team Chemistry Like A Sports Coach
When you keep our mind open, you will see that there are lots of things you can learn from others. CEO's can learn a good bit about management from sports coaches. Good coaches know what it takes to be a winner. It take more than a good quarterback to win a football game. Every game is won by a team and not a single player. So it is important to have a good communication and sync between employees to make a successful company just like it is important to have good sync among all the players in the team to win a match.

INSTANT MBA: Build Team Chemistry Like A Sports Coach
It is always important for a company's staff members to get alone well and work well together. I like how the article states that managing is like being a coach. A company is like a team. They need to be able to work together easily to get things done properly and successfully. It is a manager's job to make sure that this happens. They are the ones that need to make sure everyone is getting along and that everyone works well together. If they do not, then things need to change within the company.

Every business owner should definitely look at their team of employees the same way a coach does his team. You have to put a team together who has the best cohesion. The key is to make sure they are able to perform in perfect unity to ensure they deliver the optimal level of work. If you think about it, what good would a superstar be on your team if no one else is pulling their weight? Lebron James couldn't make the Cavaliers a championship team by himself right so he removed himself and moved to a place where he had pieces surrounding him that could help.

Playing sports as a kid can give a good insight on how business works. Too bad that youth sports represents the business world as well. Crazed coaches and ball hogging team members are not uncommon. The sports team analogy is used many times and can be an accurate representation of business. The basics are strong leaders make strong teams, whereas weak and selfish leaders will ultimately produce a weak team that produces weak results.

Instant MBA: Build Team Chemistry Like a Sports Coach
You can't have a bunch of people working together that don't like each other and don't get along. They have to have certain personalities to be able to work together. They cannot have the same strengths also. If everyone on the team does the same thing then the other parts of the project will get neglected and the project will fail. You need to have people on your team with different strengths and different weaknesses so that one person can fill in the gap where the other person is lagging.

Instant MBA: Build Team Chemistry Like a Sports Coach
Every organization has some type of team chemistry whether or not the manager or owner recruited or hired the right people for the right position is uncertain. But it is very important that good chemistry exist among businesses in order for it to run properly and smoothly. Everyone that is hired is hired for a specific position and a specific reason and everyone has a role to play. Like the article mentions is that is will not be a smart idea for a manager to hire all leaders that would make trouble and a negative atmosphere.
