This is so powerful! What do you think? How could you apply this into the world you engage with daily?

Such a simple thought yet so impactful. We cheer athletes on during the game or the race, not just when they win or at the finish line. 👏🏻 We also offer support and empathy when they don’t win. Support goes a long way not just on the field or the track. The same holds true for the teams we lead in the professional space. Some food for thought. 🧠 #foodforthought #impactful #leadership

Celebrate Milestones, Not Just Wins ! Sales people know the journey matters. Cheer your team as they overcome challenges and achieve milestones. It's about building trust and becoming a valued partner, not just a closer.

I can’t stop thinking about this image👇 “We cheer for athletes before they reach the finish line.” Imagine the power if we did this for our teams. Think about your favorite sports team, for example. Before they win, you give them unwavering support. And if they lose, you lead with empathy. Leaders, you must cheer on your teams just as loudly. --- Think about how much better a sports team does when they play at their home stadium. Why? Because they have support and know they're not alone. They feel valued, respected, and amazing for doing what they are doing, even before the win. --- Why this matters: Boosts Morale: ↳ Early encouragement elevates spirits. ↳ A team that feels supported is more motivated. Increases Confidence: ↳ Recognition builds self-assurance. ↳ Confidence fuels better performance. Fosters Loyalty: ↳ Teams appreciate leaders who believe in them. ↳ Loyalty strengthens team dynamics. Enhances Performance: ↳ Positive reinforcement drives higher effort. ↳ Belief in success often leads to success. --- Action Steps for Leaders: 1. Lead with Empathy: ↳ Understand team challenges. ↳ Offer unwavering support. 2. Celebrate Progress: ↳ Acknowledge small victories. ↳ Cheer milestones, not just endpoints. 3. Be Vocal and Visible: ↳ Show your support publicly. ↳ Make encouragement a daily habit. 4. Create a Supportive Culture: ↳ Foster an environment of mutual encouragement. ↳ Celebrate both efforts and achievements. --- Cheer on your team today. Watch them soar tomorrow. I really couldn’t get it out of my head. 👇 How do you cheer on your team? Share your strategies in the comments. - Ritu Dahiya

Groups or Teams? Want to know the difference? Think of groups as collections of people doing their own thing. Like in: 1)sales teams, or 2)individual sports, this means, 3)success is based on personal accomplishments. On the other side, teams are in: 1)team sports, or 2)the SAS: Special Air Forces, this means,  3)everyone works together for a common goal, and success is shared. Most groups and teams are: 1)a mix of both that we call hybrids, so, 2)people have individual and team goals, and  3)leading them requires different skills. We can help guide this process. Imagine every team fully engaged and motivated to win? Imagine every team uses effective processes for getting work done? Imagine every team had plenty of political support to help them win? Imagine every team who gets along with each other, not superficially? Imagine every team with the right number of people and the right skills? Imagine every team disagrees openly, constructively, and, not personally? Imagine every team is in an organisation that rewards team performance? Imagine every team are empowered to make decisions that impact the team? Organisations that know the difference between: 1)rewarding team performance, and 2)rewarding individual performance, and who get this right, win. Fact.

Can Your Leadership Ignite a Wave of Positivity? Positivity isn't just a mood; it's a catalyst for transformation within any team or organization. Research into emotional contagion theory suggests that positive emotions can spread just like viruses, particularly in social groups where people communicate regularly. A study published in the "Journal of Applied Psychology" demonstrates that leaders who exhibit positive behaviors can actually bolster the group's mood, improve job satisfaction, and even enhance performance outcomes. Here are three tips for leaders to share and embody positivity: Foster Open Communication: Encourage team members to voice their thoughts and opinions. A transparent environment can build trust and a sense of community, often leading to a more positive workplace. Recognize and Celebrate Success: Even small victories deserve recognition. Celebrating these moments can create an atmosphere of achievement and optimism. Lead by Example: Positivity starts at the top. By maintaining a constructive outlook, especially in challenging times, leaders can inspire their teams to adopt the same attitude. Positivity is powerful—it not only improves well-being but can also lead to better decision-making, creativity, and collaboration. As a leader, the energy you bring can set the tone for your entire organization. Call to Action: Are you ready to transform your leadership and create a ripple effect of positivity? Start today by implementing these tips and watch as the wave of positive change grows within your team!

"My team members seem to lack initiative and are just going through the motions." If I had a pound for everytime I heard this or a version of this, I’d be milking it 🙂 There can be many different reasons why an individual is not able to perform how you want them or expect them too.  And each case should be approached with the respect it deserves. That said, in my experience there are some common denominators when it comes to a team or employees lacking what feels like motivation or ownership to you. I would suggest that at the heart of many performance issues is a simple, yet profound disconnect: “If I’m not sure what I do matters, why do much at all?” In other words, why pour your heart and soul into something if you can't see its value or purpose? When people understand how their efforts make a difference, they're more likely to engage deeply and take pride in their work. I am sure people have seen from my other posts that I talk alot about Purpose and Vision and how to create these in your business from the very beginning. That is the first step towards creating the mechanism to bring meaning and purpose into people's work and individual roles. It is not just a theory or nice to have, it is the foundation on which you will be able to grow your business if anyone else is to be a part of your business. Once you have that in place and a system to keep it alive, you can start looking at how you transfer that to individuals and align your team. Imagine what it will feel like when you have a team that is motivated and proactive in achieving your business goals and success.
