The Championing quotient is all about connection & cause. Team members with high Championing naturally build rapport, passionately communicate the team’s message, and proactively include others.
Why does your team need someone with high Championing?
Here are three key reasons:
They Are Growth-Oriented
People with high Championing are eager to grow the team or cause. They’re adept at networking and creating connections that will help the team expand and include more people. They build rapport with people and help them get excited about what the team is doing.
They enjoy celebrating and rewarding the team when they reach milestones — big or small. This helps the team stay energized and motivated to continue that growth.
They are Optimistic
People with high Championing are energizing to be around because they are enthusiastic and positive. They keep team morale high by highlighting wins and instilling confidence in the team’s abilities.
Their positive attitude and their ability to focus on benefits are great assets for the team. These strengths help them persuade and inspire others to take action — whether that is buying a product, joining the team, or supporting the cause!
They Love the Message
People with high Championing are gifted communicators. Whether they choose to communicate via speaking, writing, etc., they often use real and inspiring stories to reinforce the message and capture their audience.
Their perspective is incredibly helpful for the team because they see the importance of communicating the team’s brand and message in a way that is positive and engaging. They naturally think about how the message will be received and how the team will be perceived by others.
Without people with high Championing, teams can have the tendency to be too inward-focused. This type of team may lack a fresh perspective and avoid seeking input from people who are new and different. People with high Championing help the team expand their view, which also keeps them from becoming overly self-critical or dwelling on negatives.
People with high Championing are crucial to team success because they make connections, they help the team’s message reach more people, and they strengthen the team with their positivity and enthusiasm.
