FIRST TEAM MINDSET 101: WHY YOU’RE PRIORITIZING THE WRONG PEOPLE

Share Tweet Share Submit0



As an executive, it’s important to keep an open mind about different leadership
styles and theories. The traditional concept of “leader + staff” is still an
accepted model, but in today’s business world, other forms are being tried and
tested in order to maximize employee engagement and more hands-on leadership.
One such concept that can work for your company is the First Team Mindset, a
management model focused on the combined efforts of a team of executive leaders.
This article will examine what the First Team Mindset is, how to implement it,
and how it’s not such a radical departure from the “traditional” executive
model.


WHAT IS THE FIRST TEAM MINDSET?

The First Team Mindset was defined by Patrick Lencioni, it’s often also called
“Team Number One” and at first glance, the concept is simple: instead of
prioritizing the people reporting to them, executives and leaders should
prioritize setheir peers. By concentrating responsibility at the top of the
board, results and impacts are much more focused on the team of executives,
rather than stretched out from top to bottom. While your teams and the people
reporting to you still have their goals and expectations, the First Team Mindset
creates more accountability among executives. The goal is to have a concrete
outline of results, the leadership model at the top, and a small, core group of
leaders sharing suggestions. Everyone holds each other up with mutual standards,
and strengthens leadership at the top so it transfers down to each leader’s
respective reporting line.


IS THE FIRST TEAM MINDSET TOO NARROW?



At first glance, the concept appears to be too insular, too concentrated at the
leadership level. Plus, you may worry that you’re abandoning your reports by
prioritizing other leaders over them. However, it creates awareness and
strengthens relationships among members of a leadership team and creates a
stronger company overall, which benefits everyone. It’s not meant to be a
divisive, cut-throat method, but instead, it’s an emphasis on results at the top
of the leadership chain. If, as an executive, you’re reporting and checking in
with your peers, it will tighten your drive to get results, and this level of
responsibility will undoubtedly trickle down to the people who report to you.


WHAT RESULTS CAN YOU EXPECT?

The results of the First Team mindset will be a stronger working and personal
relationship with your leadership peers. While the emphasis is on results, the
mindset will lead to more open communication, better definitions of
responsibility, and ultimately, a stronger core focus on company results. The
goal of any company is to be successful, and refined, focused First Team
relationships will have far-reaching effects throughout your business.


WHO SHOULD LEAD THE FIRST TEAM?

While the First Team is a team, there may be some confusion about who’s
ultimately in charge; if you’re the executive who has instituted the First Team
mindset, you may be the de facto leader of the executive team. Ultimately, this
is up to you and your First Team. If your workflow benefits from someone having
final say, then it will be fine to have yourself as the leader among the
executives. If the working relationship is strong enough to have an equal
balance of power, that’s beneficial as well.

However, don’t lose sight of the Team aspect. Even if you’re the leader, be
willing to engage and listen to other executives and their ideas, and be open to
modifying your opinions and processes as your team gets more comfortable over
time. A good leader admits mistakes and is willing to listen to people who have
their best interests in mind, especially with a mutual goal of results.


STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

The First Team Mindset should be, as Jason Wong explains, modeled on help, both
giving and receiving. While you’re in your executive role because of your
leadership skills and results, it’s always good to remember that you might not
have all the answers. There’s no shame in reaching out to other leaders on your
team for guidance. They may have ideas and outlooks to help you in your
responsibilities, and it’s a two way street: you’ll have your own opinions and
suggestions that other leaders can use to better themselves, as well as the
company.

However, while the responsibilities are concentrated at this high level, you
want to be mindful and aware of people outside the First Team. You still have
people reporting to you, and you still have goals and requirements to delegate.
 As mentioned before, this First Team can be insular, but don’t confuse the
close working relationships with tunnel vision. The company as a whole needs to
prosper, and make sure the lessons you’re picking up from your First Team have
positive benefits all the way down the chain.


COMMUNICATION IS KEY

The most important aspect of the First Team is communication. You and your team
need to have explicit, clearly outlined goals for each other, as well as
personal goals for yourself. If results aren’t being met, consult with your
First Team to refresh and possibly even rework the expected outcomes for your
business. Whether through weekly meetings or digital communication, make sure
that everyone on the First Team is continually aware of the goals, and that each
executive’s mission and responsibilities are being discussed, met, and driven
for results.

Overall, a strong First Team is open with each other about results, and through
those expectations, productivity will be stronger, and the working and personal
relationships between the executives will also be elevated. Yes, the results are
important, but executives need to have others to keep them focused on the goals
at hand, and through a diverse, functioning First Team, the leadership tactics
will continually circulate to move your business forward. Never stop
communicating, and never stop focusing on your executive growth as both an
individual and as part of the First Team.
