When you’re leading a major change effort, keeping the energy high can be a challenge. Over time, enthusiasm wanes, productivity dips, and fatigue sets in. But what if you could turn that around and reignite the drive to succeed?
In this lesson, we explore practical strategies to Increase Momentum in your team and projects. Whether it’s re-engaging a once-enthusiastic new hire, revitalizing a long-term initiative, or overcoming resistance and apathy, this episode is packed with actionable tips to get things moving again.
You’ll discover how to create a powerful "north wind" to pull people back into the mission, monitor progress effectively, and celebrate wins in a way that keeps everyone motivated. Plus, we’ll dive into the importance of novelty, real-time encouragement, and introducing fresh objectives to keep your team engaged and productive.
