On This Day in Leadership History, December 31st
On this day in leadership history in 1946, U.S. President Truman officially proclaimed the end of hostilities in World War II. In its six-year span, World War II was the deadliest conflict in human history, marked by 50 million to 85 million fatalities.
What’s the leadership lesson? After any major event in your leadership—good or bad—closure is important for everyone. Intentionally establish a moment in time for closure, remembrance, or celebration.

Bulletproof Camaraderie – How Tight Teams Do it
Have you ever seen or participated in a team that had bulletproof camaraderie? How do they do it? Here are my observations:
Time – They have taken the time and energy to build understanding, acceptance, and respect so that individuals feel connected and secure.
Results – Because they feel belonging, team members don’t want to let the others down so they strive for excellence in accomplishing the mission (getting results).
Communication – Healthier teams have more frequent and more effective communications. They pick up the phone and call each other to quickly solve problems.
Team Focus – Healthy teams focus on team results and not just individual effort. Team members help each other succeed and hold each other accountable.
Want to create better camaraderie with your team? Here are some important steps base on my experience:
Clarify the culture and set the climate. Alignment built around mission, vision, and values is crucial, as is your commitment to be both leader and member of the team.
Create opportunities and expectations for people to build bonds. Social time outside of work is clearly the best way to get to know each other.
Connect with each person. Regardless of whether the leader is an introvert or an extrovert, he or she has to engage by connecting with each person making them feel important and welcome. Learning the “unique design” of yourself and your team members helps you understand the nuances of each person and how to relate to them. Above all, make your connections confident yet humble and vulnerable as possible.
