When all else fails…learn from it! One of my favorite moments in the Disney children’s movie “Meet the Robinson’s” is when young Cornelius does not fix something correctly and the whole family celebrates a brilliant failure. “From failure you learn. From success? Not so much.”
How many times have you found projects not going according to YOUR expectations? Do you ignore the situation? Become aggressive to try and forcefully remediate?
I posit that by Intentionally Engaging® the individual members of the team, and sometimes making hard decisions about the makeup of the team, your employees will find a common understanding and be focused on shared achievement rather than emotionally focused responses. If you get the project team focused around a common goal and shared vision, you will have substantial progress, even in the direst of circumstances.
How do you rally your teams around a shared vision when all is not well?
