True team spirit comes from interacting with each other in as many ways as possible. SFI is set up so that we are all separate groups, and within our group are several other groups. The rule of 3 or 5 duplication. We mentor 3-5 people in our first line. This means that we have several people building their own groups and teaching these people to build individual groups. This makes building true team spirit difficult, but here are some suggestions for making it work.
1. When sending weekly messages include your whole genealogy and praise those at the top of each group regardless of rank or level in your downline.
2. Take advantage of every stream message opportunity to praise individuals regardless of their sponsor.
3. Set up interactive webinars or conferences whenever possible and invite your entire genealogy to enter.
4. When someone needs help ask those across group lines to help. For instance, you have several across all groups with the same language. Have these people all join A2A so that they can connect with each other and thus help with possible language problems.
5. Always consider your downline as one entity even though it may be built up of several different and diverse groups.
6. Set group goals and group activities such as contests and games on your Leadership page.
7. Everything you do must be built on developing true team spirit through cooperation and communication. Therefore, you must promote this however you can. Never criticize anyone or complain. If someone needs some feedback you should always do this individually. Never go over or under any member of your group. If you are contacting a sponsor's downline, be sure and let the sponsor know first and then send them a copy of your message so they are informed.
8. When speaking to individual members of a group, praise and uplift them and their group every way you can. Never criticize a downline member to anyone, write to the member them about your concerns.
9. Send out periodic surveys to your entire group in your weekly newsletters asking them questions that help you to know how your groups are progressing and working as a team.
10. Always accept personal feedback with an open mind and don't get on the offensive and be personally offended when someone suggests something or gives you a less than perfect rating, write them and ask how you can improve. Ask your entire genealogy this question at least once a month so that the entire group knows you are responsive to them.
