How To Benefit From A Power Team

Writen by Bette Daoust, Ph.D.

Quite often the business you do can be quite specialized. I find that sometimes it is too specialized and that I need to bring in another expert for portions of a project. As I have a Power Team in place, it is fairly easy for me to set up the initial client interview with a Power Team member. The first meeting is to set the plan, and see what is entailed for the project. We often find in these meetings that we will also need to use others on the Team. Having a Power Team is like having a large company behind you for support and additional work. The team is also in place without the burden of salaries and other overheads.

The Power Team enables me to work in a collaborative environment which adds to the success of each member. Because a team is a loosely bound group, we are still able to do other projects on our own without any sharing of revenues. It also gives me a leg up when I go on calls because I know that I can add value through the skills of the team members.

As with any organization, you have to keep up-to-date with each team members skill set. You will constantly add and subtract team members throughout your business cycle. Some will turn into alliances and others may just drop out and go on to other things. No matter what the arrangement, you will need a solid agreement in place before proceeding.
