You can find the best partner, create a great strategic partnership, but by the end of the day - your team will run it. Having the right people on your side and keeping them motivated and engaged is essential. We bring you three tips you can adopt to nurture your team.

• Put the right people on the bus: Workers from different backgrounds and companies, with a variety of skills, can work together to achieve monumental outcomes. Ecosystem masters are willing to lift and shift talent to another ecosystem organization for a certain amount of time. As an ecosystem leader, it’s imperative that you build a team with the right people to drive your partnership and maximize its chances of success.
• Invest in executive development programs: Invest in educating your team by giving them access to online classes and tutorials. Develop their skills and allow them the flexibility to choose the types of educational and leadership opportunities that are most valuable for them.
• Celebrate Wins with your team: A team that celebrates together stays together. Celebrate small wins such as the launch of new solutions, new partnerships, new MDF fund acquisition, etc. These celebrations bring teams together. No matter how small or insignificant a “win” is, it’s still worth celebrating. When the going gets tough, it’s the recognition and celebration that comes from small wins that pushes your team to keep going.
