			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Initiative, taking action, showing energy, leading &#8212; all natural skills for most entrepreneurs. It&#8217;s important to make sure people on your team appreciate and embrace performance and nothing is more powerful than seeing the leader of the team doing just that.</p>
<p>But wait&#8230;what if you are trying to create a culture of leadership and performance? Will people <em>always</em> have the opportunity to see all that you do so they can model their behavior after you? Will you <em>always </em>have time to lead in every instance or <em>always</em> have your &#8220;A&#8221; game with you when needed?</p>
<p>No, no and no!</p>
<p>You&#8217;re building a team for a reason. To win. To be sustainable so you can keep winning. That&#8217;s what we are doing at <a title="ShareOnce - business networking that saves you time and delivers results" href="http://www.shareonce.com" target="_blank">ShareOnce</a>. We have a team of leaders that all bring something to the table in their area (and more). From product design/development to marketing to sponsor and event services&#8230;we have a pretty strong team of talent.</p>
<p>You have to let that talent do what they do. You have to know when to get out of the way and let it happen.</p>
<p>The following excerpt from my interview for the &#8220;Personal Brilliance&#8221; podcast by <a title="Emerging Leadership Circle - Jim Canterucci" href="http://shareonce.com/elcircle" target="_blank">Jim Canterucci</a> detailed a recent example of where I took a back seat in the area of product development so a) I could actually get some much needed time off, and b) establish that I truly do believe this is a team of talent where key people in the right roles do make the difference.</p>
<p>Take a listen &#8212; <a title="James Weddle on Initiative - Personal Brilliance podcast" href="http://www.pbpodcasts.com/podcasts/2009/jamesweddle.aspx" target="_blank">click on the &#8220;Initiative&#8221; tab at Personal Brilliance podcast.</a></p>
