That is a good question to ask, but why do you want to know ONLY the single most important thing you should be doing?
There simply is no such thing as Single Most Important Thing you should be doing, IF you want to be an effective and competent Team Leader. There are many!
First of all, understand you are starting on an exciting part of your journey in SFI, that of being a Team Leader to your team. You are also going to have some serious responsibilities towards your team and to yourself.
These suggestions may help you develop as an effective team leader.
You may choose only the "single most important thing" you think will help you to do your job as a Team Leader.
Think of your strengths and weaknesses. Study your strengths, what you’re good at, and have a plan on how to enhance your strengths. Suggestions are: Read motivational and inspiring books/articles/famous quotes by famous motivational authors. Check TC store for e-books listed in TC and ECAs stores, and order them. Then read them and absorb the knowledge.
Now think of your weaknesses- what are they?
. Do you have issues with relationships with your family/friends and with other people? Deal with this first, because it may influence with your relationship with your team such as, if you’re grumpy with your family/friends, then you’ll be grumpy with your team as well and will have no tolerance for some annoying habits.
. Do you have problems with focusing, organizing, or prioritizing? Read/review posts on these common problems as posted in the Forum and Ask SC. Read and learn more from articles and Affiliate Tips found in SFI Training.
. What other bad habits you have developed, dump them and replace with new good SFI habits. As a new team leader, you want your team to copy and emulate you, so whatever good habits you develop now you can be confident will be duplicated by your team.
These good SFI Habits are:
. Goal setting and planning your day. A must.
. Logging in Every Single Day, not only to do your daily tasks to earn your daily VP, but to check on what’s new at SFI, read the latest posts in SFI Forum, check your VP Ledger, accept/reject new a2a members or keep in touch with them.
. Setting up a Standing Order (this is the bugbear of some who don't want to invest in their own business, so lead the way).
. Preparing to submit your answer/s to new question/s submitted for voting at Ask SC for a chance to earn 100 VP for top answer, 50 VP for second best, and 25 VP for 3rd- 10th best. This is to encourage your team to participate and be involved.
. Making your presence known by getting involved in the Forum, by sharing tips,experiences, posting valuable comments that may help others and your team.
. Checking new products listed in TC Store and ECA stores you connect with, etc. to pass on to your team.
. Checking your Movers list, to see their progress, and sending E-Cards like Quick-Tips, Congrats, or anything, depending on their current activities and achievements.
. Checking your Genealogy to see the progress of others not on your Movers list, sending out E-Cards to those with red-flags for inactivity, in addition to your including them in your Weekly messages for continued support. One day one of them will read your message and see the light.
. While checking your Genealogy, check the health of your business: how many PSAs/CSAs you have in total, how many are actively contributing to your business, how deep your line is, how many have opted out, and how many PRMS are on your current list.
. Advertising by using the Marketing Aids, and other means, and buying a share in S-Builder, PSAs To Go, for new sign-ups, among others.
These are only a few of the important things you need to know in order to become an effective and successful Team Leader. You learn from others as you go, and you learn from your own mistakes. But you have to lead the way in order to develop all your potential to be a competent and effective Team Leader. But the question is: Will you?
