Leadership: Focus On How Far You've Come, not just goals ahead.
Do you focus too much on the road ahead?
You need to occasionally reflect on your accomplishments and pat your team on the back and tell them great job for all the wonderful things they have accomplished.
Even if they have not done as much as you like, find something about what they have done that is a positive and communicate those things to help drive them to achieve and conquer the new goals in front of them.
At Healthy Brands Coaching, we take a “Company Snapshot” when we first start working together so at each Quarterly Pulse (reset) and at the Annual Planning Retreat, we can look back at this documentation and read off all the things we knocked out of the park.
The 4th quarter “Push” going into the holidays can be one of those times where YOUR GOALS are not THEIR GOALS anymore. So you simply don’t get as much out of them and/or their frustrations are shown on their face and actions daily.
So what things are you doing in your company to communicate your teams accomplishments and re-energizing them. Try more of that and watch them continue to help chase after your vision and dreams.
How do you communicate individual and team progress throughout the year?
Company Snapshots are done as a part of our exclusive 10GS Growth System business coaching programs for teams that want to grow in organization, control of time, branding, marketing and sales.
