T- Take the time to get to know your affiliates. Learn about their personal lives, their goals, and who they really are.

E- Explain to your affiliates how the SFI business works. Be sure to note that this isn't a get rich quick program and that they will have to actually put work in to be successful in this business.

A- Apply all of the knowledge that you have gained while learning about your business. Use all of the tools provided by SFI to their full extent.

M- Motivate your affiliates to become the best they can be. Take the time to be there for each affiliate if they need anything. A lot of affiliates feel lost and don't know where to go. This is where you can come in and show them the way.

L- Lose the negativity. When you are negative in anyway it rubs off on your affiliates even when you don't intend it to. Be positive even in situations that seem hopeless because it's never as bad as it seems.

E- Ease each of your affiliates into their business at their own pace. Showing them all of the information SFI has to offer, though a great thing, may push them too fast and cause them to pull away rather than embrace their business.

A- Allow your affiliates to come to you about anything. If they need support in anyway make sure that they have a way of getting in touch with you. Whether it be by email, team mail, chat or any other method you come up with. Communication is a huge part of success in SFI.

D- Don't take your affiliates for granted. Never let them feel like they aren't appreciated. They are your bread and butter so make sure you let them know it. Remember, an active affiliate is a real gem, so always try to make them feel special in everything they do.

E- Entrust your affiliates to run their business the way they want to. Even if you feel you know what works, doesn't mean that it's the only way. Forcing somebody to do something that they are not comfortable doing often leads to rejection and dismay.

R- Respect every affiliate as if they are part of your family because in truth, they are. I tell all of my affiliates that they are part of my SFI family and that they can come to me for anything. Just as I would for any of my immediate family members.

Being a Team Leader in SFI is a huge responsibility, it takes time, effort, and most of all trust. Affiliates join this business on a daily basis. They are looking for somebody to help them get to the next level. If they see somebody they feel they can trust leading them, then they feel the possibilities for success are limitless. However, if they see somebody who doesn't contact them and feels that they don't need any help. They will give up quick.

Try to strive to be the best Team Leader you can be. Even if you make mistakes, learn from them. After all, nobody is perfect, but we all try to be, don't we?

Good day Sonja,

This is a very nice question and i do hope based on my experience, I would be able to assist you in strengthening your team.

As a team leader or good sponsor, we lead by example. Leading by example, is one of the Rules of Success. For instance like having a Standing Order which is t credits that I get 1500 versa points. I let them know that with a minimum of 1500 versa points Standing Order, that they will get 100 versa points as bonus. The badge is usually displayed on your leadership page.With that, they will believe you.

Also, as a good team leader, I must log in daily to do my Daily, Weekly and Monthly Tasks. This contributes to the growth of your business. On your Homepage, the number of days one logs on is being displayed. Likewise, as good sponsors, we would let our PSAs/CSAs that with little drops attending to our Daily, Weekly and Monthly Tasks, can help them in building their ranks amd give them prestigious badges on their Homepage.

Also, as an awesome sponsor and leading by example, I will encourage my downlines by Praising them when they win in the Daily Grand, achieve certain milestone in their business or when they log on regularly as a sign of seriousness. This will make PSAs/CSAs have a sense of belonging and would motivate them.

Another way to be a good Team Leader is by sending your team weekly mails showing them tips and ideas how to be successful and grow their team. Always give room for questions they might have and ensure they get response within the shortest possible time to build their confidence and trust in you.

As a good Team Leader, we can also share our web of knowledge by answering AskSc questions, asking questions to help not just your immediate Team members, but also other affilates on SFI.This alone, displays your good leadership skills.

Also, to be an awesome sponsor, we can encourage our hardworking affiliates in the team by transfering affiliates to build their own team, Award Gift certificate to make purchases on tripleclicks and T credits to play any Eager Zebra games. This character displays good leadership skills and gives your Team members a sense of belonging as they know their Team Leader is being supportive.

Remember as the saying goes, seeing is believing. As good sponsors, we need to encourage and motivate them and with that, they can also duplicate your actions. Work with the workers, encourage and motivate them and you will get nothing but the best.

Hope I was able to help

Hi,
Yes this might be a big problem for you and your tem if you wouldn't be preocupied to be a god team leader.
Team leaders are the first example for their team, they lead by example, they never ask their affiliates to do what they have never done.
So you gotta do your daily actions, be present in the forum, answer questions in Asc SC, rate answers, learn learn learn so you could teach others, to be present in your community.
Team leaders have to communicate with their team, send e-mails, news, help , give information and advice, to spread optimism through his team, encourage.
I think the most important skills for a team leader are communication and knowledge.
So keep learning and communicating so you could inspire your PSAs.

A good Team Leader involves listening and communicating with your group providing full support and training and keeping the morale high.

To learn to be a good Team Leader of your group, do the following steps:

- Allocate time for increasing your knowledge.

Start learning SFI BASICS and LAUNCHPAD and make sure you fully comprehend these two important core business principles of SFI to pass them on to your team members, giving them the right foundation in their journey with SFI. Stick to this program of continually educating yourself to widen your knowledge base.

Read from SFI training articles, study the Ask SC questions/answers, and actively participate in the Forum to learn more from good experienced Team Leaders how they provide solutions to problems. You can try to emulate them. These will prove to be invaluable resources for your training and support in your group as you expand your network.

- Learn from your Sponsor/Upline

Stay connected to your Sponsor/Upline particularly in regards to their activities. A good Sponsor/Upline maintain his/her top performance in regards to their activities which promote growth in their organization. He/she would want to pass on his/her leadership skills by providing full training and support and if need be offer one-on-one support for customized solutions in helping members of his/her groups which require more time.

Be attentive to their group support messages and try to ask questions in topics that are particularly important to you especially in acquiring skills necessary for becoming a good Team Leader. If your Sponsor/Co-Sponsor/Upline are inactive, go to the next step.

- Associate yourself closely with successful Team Leaders.

Make use of the a2a resource tool to request friends with successful Team Leaders and learn from their experience. A successful Team Leader possesses good quality skills such as maintaining his/her top performance in regards to rank, leading his/her group to be continually active in building their own team, belongs to one of the top-scorers in VP, Top Enroller/Co-Sponsor, etc. Most successful Team Leaders are enthusiastic in sharing their success-driven methods of leading their teams.

So make sure to take advantage of this opportunity to learn from SFI's successful Team Leaders who possess good quality leadership skills.

- Read books about successful entrepreneurs.

You want to learn to become a good Team Leader. One of the most effective ways of doing this is by reading books about how successful entrepreneurs acquired their leadership skills to build their downline. Don't just read books because someone recommended that they're “great for entrepreneurs”, every industry, product, founder, company, and stage is different, so be selective. You will get much more benefit by seeking books based on your specific needs/challenges in key areas of acquiring leadership skills.

When reading your book think how you can do it effectively and actionably. You can do this by using your reading time as efficiently and productively as possible. Internalizing and acting upon what you've learned are important active reading practices, which ensure that your valuable reading hours yield the maximum benefit for your SFI business and for your own professional development of becoming a good Team Leader.

Whatever entrepreneurial literature you read, just make sure you are reading it on an on-demand, as-needed basis, not simply because the cool kids seem to be reading it. You need be focus in your goal of learning how to become a good Team Leader.

- Lead by example.

As you learn and improve your leadership skill to become a good Team Leader, you also need to start applying what you've learned. Being an example can be anything, right from the way your group works, to the way they make professional decisions. Treat everyone on your group with equal respect. Keep an open and honest communication and show your group that you are here to solve any problems the best you can or make any needed adjustments that benefit the group as a whole.Leading by example is a great responsibility, so make it worthy in your walk.

This is a very thought provoking question and this is what I feel.

You will be a good Team Leader if you have:

Conviction - this will give you the motivation and purpose to become a great team leader.
You need to believe without a doubt, that SFI is the vehicle that will propel you to success.

Commitment - you must be committed to the business 110%. Follow the guidelines laid down by SFI to become an awesome sponsor.

Confidence - when your team 'sees' your confidence, in terms of the badges you have received, your presence in the forum, through your newsletters etc, they will believe that the future with SFI is promising and that you have the ability to help them grow and take them to the next level.

Positive attitude - it's easy to be upbeat when things are going well. It is when things go downhill that you need to rise to the challenge and overcome the pitfalls. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. :)

Communication skills - be open to feedback from the team. Both good and bad. You will need to learn how to deal with individual team members in a way that gets the point across without stepping on toes. Remember, you will be dealing with many different personalities. This will create a closeness with your team.

Appreciation - be appreciative of your team. By assuring them that what they do matters, you are encouraging them to move forward enthusiastically towards achieving their goals.

That’s a good way to put it how you can learn to be a good team leader, since no one
Born with that title, but some are naturally gifted for that roll and they have to polish
That skill how to translate that roll in to action.
There are two types of people in this category,
1, Leaders
2, workers
Both these roll are very important, even though one seems do both, with the luck of
Trust or not having a faith with others.
Lets see the leaders roll through the work mentality.
Leaders have to have the overall knowledge of understanding how things evolve.
A leader worker, have no trust that someone is doing the task properly, so he/she
Love to do the work by themselves.
They want perfection, everything the other person doing is wrong.
They want to stand there and like to watch every move if in case
Someone is going to make a mistake.

Want to be in control, like to remind things over and over again, don’t trust someone is
Getting it. Overall want to do both tasks by themselves.

A true leader is, trust worthy of others, he/ she just want to lead and the others to follow.
He/she train others to do the task without supervision, knowing he/she would not be there
At all time.
He/she is leading by example so others can do the same.
A true leader see others potential and encourage them to be successful just like him/her.
A true leader believe in team work, listen ideas and value others contribution.
A true leader have a good judgment by understanding every individual is different
And treat each one in its own unique way.

For you to learn to be a good leader, first examine yourself which one you are, a worker
Or a leader, if you are the worker type , try to change the roll how to be a leader, by taking
Leadership courses, have a mentor as well as reading various books in this topics.

If you have already the leadership roll and want to polish it, still helpful to do what I said
Above and have trust in your team, once you show them the way, they will be able to do
The job, but that doesn’t mean you have to abandon them, rather work as a team and
Share ideas, have communication , help each other and work as a group.
Train them to adapt this quality roll.

How can I learn to be a good Team Leader for my group?

I think to some extent you learn as you go. That’s probably the best way to describe what I do. As the leader of my group I am like a coach and mentor to them. But being a SFI team leader is more than that because I am also a working SFI affiliate. So there are two aspects to this.

1. Me, as an active SFI businessperson.

Like any other SFI affiliate I work my SFI business too. So I “lead from the front”. I have learnt the SFI system and I work that system as best I can for myself on a “day-to-day” basis. This will change depending on my budget, circumstances and the time I have available. It’s a dynamic balancing situation. AND it is a DAILY activity. This is my business and I am serious about it.

I make sure that I keep myself up to date with what is going on in SFI. I read the news and any emails and messages sent to me by SFI and I study all the new stuff so that I can understand it and begin to apply it to my business as soon as possible.

And I have a “self-improvement plan”. I want to get better at SFI. I want to learn new things. I want to address my weaknesses, particularly in marketing, social media and using a website, so that I can improve my performance and grow my SFI business. So I plan to make time to read and learn.

So running my SFI business is a very practical “hands-on” thing. I plan to do something. If I don’t know how I have to learn how. And that is what is so great about SFI – all the free resources here for me to read up and study and learn.

By doing these things I put myself in a good position to be able to lead my group.

2. Leading my group.

I expect my group to also be doing these things. And that is what I teach them as a group. They must learn SFI basics and they must work daily. If they are not prepared to do that then there is little I can do to help them. But, hopefully they will see what I do, see my badges, read my TeamMail and Stream posts and be motivated to do the same.

Now, this is where it gets interesting and the real fun starts. Each of my team members is different. So I give them specific individual advice. To do that I look at what they are doing (or haven’t done). I look at they goals, and discuss their budget (if any) with them. I will make suggestions to them, that is all I can do. It is their decision what they actually do. And they will ask me questions.

This is why I have said the “you learn as you go”. Because when I am asked a question I may have to research the answer myself first. I certainly have to make sure I am giving them the correct information.

So leading is a very personal thing. To help my team member to succeed I must take him from where he is today and teach him what he needs to know. All the time working with him, at his pace, doing what he wants to do. Remember his SFI business will be different from yours.

So, I guess, in essence learning to be a good team leader is a very practical thing. If you “know your stuff”, work your own SFI business, and are responsive to your team member, you will learn to be a good team leader.

There are many ways of learning to be a good Team Leader.

The SFI Rules of Success at https://www.sfimg.com/ROS/Index?referrer=search is a great place to start if you want to be a good Team Leader.

Go and have another read of the rules now and every now and then go back and have another read to refresh and to refocus. The rules are all about being a successful business owner in SFI and I believe that if you want to be successful in SFI you need to become a Team Leader.
To ensure financial security and to earn a huge income we need to progress beyond Affiliate and EA levels and become a Team Leader.

While all the SFI Rules of Success are applicable to becoming a good Team Leader, I particularly like the following ones:

- Rule 3: Lead by example. Your team look up to you and will follow your example. Exhibit good business practices & do what you preach.

- Rule 6: You succeed only if they succeed. Your team should be your focus. You want them to be successful because if they are successful, you business will naturally be successful.

- Rule 8: Leaders are readers. This statement is often quoted and it is quite true! If you don’t read you don’t learn SFI and the business well, you cannot keep up with developments within SFI and the business world, how then can you lead your people, train them, motivate and inspire them? Leaders need to read.

You can also learn to be a good Team Leader by:

- Learning 'How to be an Awesome Sponsor' at https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=191295 Don’t just read the Dos and Don’ts, put what you read in practice.

- Modelling yourself on others. Have a look at the successful Team Leaders in SFI, those who are DTLs and those you can consistently find on the Leadership Boards. Study their leadership style and what they do. Try them out yourself. You might even contact them and ask them for their help and guidance. Your sponsor, co-sponsor and upline can be great source of inspiration and learning.

- Participating in The Forum, Ask SC, and even consulting your A2A friends. Learn what have worked for other Team Leaders and try them out yourself. They might work, the might not but what you are doing is practicing being a good Team Leader. You are taking the initiative, you are trying out things for the benefit of your team.

- How about doing some research on the internet and following some of the successful entrepreneurs. They are successful leaders.

There are many ways to learn but I believe that what I have stated above are the most important ones.

1. Lead by example. Demonstrate to your team that what you expect from them you are doing yourself.
2. Have a continuous learner's mindset. Learn as much as you can from the various resources available in SFI.
3. Be a coach, and less of a teacher to your team. Give them a chance to fly by themself.
4. Be reachable via Skype, email, phone. Adopt an "opened door" policy.
5. Make them feel comfortable to reach out to you when an issue comes up.
6. Communicate, communicate, communicate as long as it takes and as needed.
