BRX Pro Tip: The Main Difference Between a Team and a Family
Stone Payton: And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, I have heard the terms family and team used a lot in the business arena, how do you make the distinction?
Lee Kantor: Yeah. This is one of those things in business you hear so much, you know, we’re a family, we’re a family, we’re a family. But in essence, most businesses are a team. And to me, the biggest distinction between a team and a family is a team is always looking for the best players. Teams are continually replacing the weakest member with somebody stronger. Where a family is always protecting the weakest member, and they’re always doing everything they can to make sure the weakest is being taken care of and that they can thrive.
Lee Kantor: So, as a leader of your business, you have to decide is your business more like a team or is your business more like a family. There’s no right or wrong answer, but as its leader, you have to decide which way are you going to go, because there’s ramifications for whichever path you decide to take.
Lee Kantor: So, just be clear that in business, we’re typically more like a team than a family. In business, we’re typically looking to continuously improve and continuously find those A players that can help take that business to a new level.
