When trying to get your team excited about their goals, I've found a few simple ways that really work. It’s all about working together and making sure everyone feels like they are part of the journey. Here’s how to do it:
First, it’s super important to make a place where team members feel okay to share their thoughts. I always let everyone know that all ideas are welcome—even the ones that sound a little silly. We can have informal brainstorming sessions where nobody judges each other. It’s amazing what cool ideas might come out when people feel safe to speak up!
People get really excited when they feel included. Instead of just telling the team what the vision is, I like to hear what everyone thinks. One fun way to do this is by having a workshop where we all share our ideas. Just getting everyone together (in person or online) to talk about what they think the vision should be can spark a lot of enthusiasm!
Having different people on the team is great for creativity! When we mix various personalities, experiences, and skills, we get a wider view of what the vision can look like. Encourage team members to share their unique stories and viewpoints. I’ve seen teams come up with fantastic ideas when they celebrate their differences!
Sometimes, showing ideas can be more helpful than just talking. Using drawings or sticky notes can help make thoughts and plans clear. I’ve found making a “Vision Board” together is not only fun but also a great way to get everyone involved. Team members can add pictures, words, or drawings that show their vision for the team, making it a shared experience.
After we talk about the vision, it’s important to break it down into smaller, achievable goals. This is when everyone can help by setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals together. I guide discussions on what each person thinks a good goal would be. This way, everyone stays responsible and feels connected to our success.
Once we have our vision and goals laid out, we need to keep the energy going by encouraging ongoing feedback. I like to have regular check-ins where we talk about how things are going and any challenges we face. This keeps everyone on the same page and shows that their input really matters throughout our journey.
Finally, it’s important to recognize and celebrate achievements—no matter how small! Celebrating can really boost team spirit. After reaching a milestone, I like to take a moment to reflect on our journey and thank each team member for their hard work. It builds our sense of teamwork and reminds everyone they are part of something special.
Using these techniques, I’ve seen teams become more involved when defining their vision. It’s all about creating a team atmosphere where everyone feels like they matter. When people believe in the vision they helped create, it builds purpose and strong connections that help the team succeed. The best part is that this process can strengthen relationships and build a stronger team culture.
