Team Builders
March 11th, 2014

If you like to build and nurture teams, chances are you prefer to work with someone else’s idea once there is a basic model and a clear goal in play. Team Builders are classic “people leaders” who believe in consensus planning and love to put people together toward a common, agreed-upon objective.

Team builders are great at empowering and encouraging others, and don’t get hung up on who’s idea they are building toward. They are more concerned about focusing on the task at hand, making sure that everyone is contributing in their area of greatest strength.

Look for team builders among your staff. They engender loyal followers who see in their leader a balance of inspiration and encouragement. They are steady, predictable, and flexible, able to handle the ups and downs of business and life much better than most.

So if you want a leader who is motivating, well-liked and respected, and who gives people the freedom to operate, find yourself a team builder. If you are one, bravo. Keep leading. People will follow.

“I needed help orchestrating a succession plan for our business. I had heard that Bill Boyajian specialized in assisting owners to transition their business to the next generation. He knows how to bridge the generation gap and deliver what each needs to hear. I would recommend Bill to any business owner who needs advice on succession planning from a trusted outside professional.”

"Our family needed some guidance on business transition and succession planning. We asked Bill Boyajian to help us because we knew we could trust him to tell us what we needed to hear. Bill became a valuable resource for our company and our entire family. He has the ability to meet each of us where we’re at and it has served us very well."

“We needed a plan to transition our business to a non-family member and we asked Bill Boyajian to help us. His experience in the area has really paid off, but we didn’t expect the added value of putting us together with a financial planner who helped organize our retirement needs. We now have the fundamentals to transition our business successfully, and we have Bill to thank for it.”
