It’s impossible to engage your team overnight.
But here’s what’s possible today…
- You can ask one team member for one piece of actionable feedback – make them feel heard
- You can send a brief weekly update to your team with what’s going on around the organisation, warts and all – make them feel in the know
- You can say hello to 10 people by name – make them feel seen
It’ll only take you 30 minutes.
But, in one year’s time you’ll have a team with boosted engagement, because they:
- Feel heard: You will have collected more than 200 pieces of feedback that are helping you and your team improve
- Feel in the know: You will have provided 52 updates that provide your team context for better decision
- Feel seen: You will have personally connected with your team more than 2,000 times
And highly engaged teams are 3x more productive than merely satisfied teams.
Talk less about engaging your team (most people would think, “what does that even mean?” anyway).
Talk more about “I’m going to invest 30 minutes in my team today”.
