Description

As leaders, you no doubt have plenty of initiatives on your plate. Simply off-loading the initiatives onto your team is not ideal. Instead, create buy-in for them which will in turn provide an instant boost to productivity, morale, employee turnover, and job satisfaction.

  1. Get to know your team: Understanding the temperament of each member of your team is critical in building a rapport with them. That rapport leads to buy-in
  2. Spend as much time explaining “why“ as “watch“: remember people rock with you because of why you do what you do not because of what you do. Your team needs to understand the implications and rationale for doing the work.
  3. Focus on the goal but be flexible with the initiative. Goals indicate where you want to go. Initiatives indicate the path to get there. Clarity is key
