TO: Dedicated team leaders in organizations everywhere

RE: Maximizing your team’s potential

This memo is for you because you understand the tremendous impact team leaders like yourself can make at every level of an organization.                               

• You can get the best out of the people you manage… equipping and encouraging them to hold themselves to high standards (as you do yourself), and put forth extra effort to deliver results that go beyond “good enough.”
  
  
• You can bolster the confidence the people you report to have in you and your team… which encourages them to dream bigger and take more rewarding action, knowing you and those you lead “have their back” and strive for the organization’s success.
  
  
• You can affirm and motivate your peers… because they see you as someone who demonstrates all a leader’s finest qualities and think, “I want to be that same kind of positive influence and catalyst for growth.” 

And we haven’t even touched on how strong teams with strong leaders at the helm impress and delight your organization’s clients and customers by always anticipating their needs and exceeding their expectations, winning their fierce loyalty…

Now, if what I’ve described so far doesn’t sound like your experience as a team leader – don’t panic!

And keep reading...

Because no matter how weak (nor strong) your team is today, you can make it stronger.

Where Most Team Leaders Take A Wrong Turn…
(Hint: You’re Not Captain America!)

If your team isn’t all you thought it could be and know it can be, it’s most likely because you were told something about team-building that isn’t entirely true… even though it’s uncritically accepted by far too many team leaders. 

All of us have been told, again and again, you build a strong team by bringing together “the best and the brightest” you can, right?

Obviously, there’s nothing wrong with wanting top talent on your team.

But sticking with this conventional team-building wisdom is only going to take you so far. Talented individuals alone don’t guarantee team success.

In fact, if you only count on finding the “the best” people, I’m afraid you’ve mistaken real life for a comic book movie!

You know: Captain America calling out, “Avengers, assemble!”... and, poof, you’ve got a team that’s going to save the day!

Now, I’m a pretty strong guy, but I’m not Captain America, and the folks around me aren’t the Avengers.

They ARE real people who, as we all do, bring a unique mix of strengths and challenges, gifts and growing edges, to the table. 

They need and deserve a leader who isn’t playing superhero, but who’s showing them how to build on their best assets… move forward where there’s room for improvement… and, most of all, work together effectively.

When you develop your team’s “connective tissue” – the skills that, properly activated and nurtured, allow them to cohere as a purposeful, productive unit – you’ll enable them to become a brand-new community of peak performers who achieve far greater challenges and seize far bigger opportunities than any of you ever could on your own.

Who I Am And Why I Can Help You Make Your Team Great?

My name is Lee Rubin. I've been building extraordinary teams for more than 30 years.

For 15 years, I was a Human Resources professional with Fortune 500 companies. Prior to that, in college, I was Captain of the Penn State Football team. 

All that experience gave me firsthand knowledge of what it takes to build high performing organizations.

For the past 10 years, I've been sharing my expertise as a keynote speaker, and working closely with leaders across a wide range of industries.

I’ve helped leaders in organizations of all sizes shift their focus and apply effective team development principles to their situation.

I’ve worked with managers at such organizations as Merrill Lynch, Sony and Intel to build and build up more motivated, efficient, effective teams.

Now, I’m sharing my practical and proven principles with you in my online course, Five Components of Extraordinary Teams.

My Course Offers High-Impact Help For Leaders Like You Seeking Total Team Transformation

Think of my course as a diagnostic test.

It’ll help you make sure you get focused and stay focused on the skills needed to build a great team.

My course isn’t for everyone. It’s not for beginners – people who think they might like to be in positions of leadership, but aren’t... or people just now getting their feet wet as leaders.

This is next-level content. If you’re looking for basics, I wish you well, but you really need to look elsewhere.

What you’ll get in my course will help you build on the foundations you’ve already mastered in order to lift your team to loftier heights of competence and productivity.

That said, my course is surprisingly simple. You won’t get complicated, academic theory, Instead, you’ll get straightforward, easy-to-follow directions to keep you focused and moving forward.

And my course is going to give you crystal clarity on your team’s primary purpose. Without clarity, it’s difficult, if not impossible, to build an extraordinary team. But once you have it, nothing can stop you from turning your team into a healthy, high-functioning unit capable of delivering win after win!

Here’s Exactly What You Get When You Enroll

When you enroll in Five Components of Extraordinary Teams, you’ll get access for one full year to a series of brief online video trainings you can watch and re-watch anywhere, on any device.

You can view them on your own schedule, and watch them with your team, to share the crucial “team truths” they contain with them.

Here’s a “sneak peek” at all you and your team will discover:

• Module 1 - It’s astonishing how many teams try to answer the “how” of what they do without ever considering the “why.” Help your team hone in on your true purpose, the foundation on which all your success rests.
• Module 2 - The true meaning of “competition” isn’t what you think. Find out why healthy competition isn’t about winning and losing, but is essential to any team’s growth.
• Module 3 - Some say “sacrifice” isn’t a relevant concept today. But you’ll discover the problem isn’t asking people to make sacrifices – something else is. You’ll find out what the real obstacle is and exactly how to steer clear of it.
• Module 4 - Have you ever explored your team’s culture? Every team has one, and knowing its contours is key to clear communication among team members. Find out how to make your team’s communication easier and more fruitful.
• Module 5 - Many teams try and avoid adverse conditions, and that’s a critical mistake. Adverse conditions are precisely the conditions under which winning teams thrive! 
• Module 6 - You’ll also discover secrets for achieving machine-like consistency in your team’s results.

And you’ll receive a detailed and comprehensive collection of critical questions you and your team can use to assess your strengths and move beyond your current limits.

What you’ll have when you complete my course is nothing less than all you need to transform your team into a dynamic, organic whole that:

• Pulses with positive energy.
• Communicates more clearly.
• Deals with difficult situations more competently and confidently.
• Achieves far better outcomes in business AND in life.

OK… So What Does Five Components
of Extraordinary Teams Cost?

(Answer: Much less than the stress of continuing to struggle with an unmotivated, underproductive team!)

If you were to bring in an outside, professional HR consultant to help you build up your team, you’d expect to pay several hundred or even several thousand dollars, depending upon your group’s size. Sometimes, you even pay by the head.

Plus, you’d spend anywhere from half a day to several full days in the training. It might be time well spent, but it’s also time when your team isn’t producing results.

That’s why investing in Five Components of Extraordinary Teams makes such sense.

The video trainings are short and to the point. You and your team don’t have to clear your schedule for hours at a time to finish the training.

And you get my proven concepts and strategies for strengthening teams for a simple, single investment of $497.

Plus, here’s something else most HR consultants won’t give you:

If, within 30 days of your investment in the course, you’re not completely convinced my message and methods can help you make your team more positive and productive, I’ll refund your money as soon as you ask.

You don’t have to spend one more minute feeling frustrated because your team isn’t performing at a higher level.
