Having an engaged and aligned team is one of the most satisfying experiences for a leader.
Here’s 5 tips to create that engagement & alignment:
- Define a very stretch but just realizable goal. One where the team thinks: ‘well – thàt would be a great achievement’
- Lay out a general plan as to how the goal can be achieved. The more the team helps define this roadmap, the more alignment you’ll get
- Make them feel accountable. Each for their part. If you take too much ownership, they’ll take less of it…
- Regularly show (and congratulate on) progress made, while also pointing out the areas that need further special attention
- Be there to support them. Show them those little ‘shortcuts’; give that piece of advice that will lift them to the next level.
Do all 5 of them, consistently, and you and your team will start reaping the benefits!
Good luck!
