Give Your Team What They Need

In the last 9 months, work for most people has changed. Because of that, a new question has been asked by many leaders:

Do we maintain our focus on the big goal and stay the course, or do we adjust? 

And the answer is yes and yes. There are certain things that are out of our control, so we have to adjust. 

There are certain things that we are forced to do differently, but are finding that they are working better for our company, so we should adjust. 

Embrace those adjustments and keep the goal in mind. But break it down into smaller bite-sized pieces, so that your team can adjust quickly if they need to.  It also helps in uncertain times, because it gives them something to be focused on that will help them be productive.

When they are productive, they will feel more accomplished and that results in momentum moving forward. 

Things are weird these days...plain and simple.  You have the ability to create an environment that gives people back a sense of control. Be intentional to create and communicate weekly or monthly goals that will get you closer to where you’re headed. Weekly and monthly are very realistic right now. Your people will thank you for that. 

Does your company have a clearly defined and communicated short term goal? If not, don't hesitate. Send us a message today and we will help you craft a plan that is right for you.
