Everyone
has a higher purpose in life. It's what drives us to be better people
and does great things. Finding your team's higher purpose can be the key to unlocking
their full potential. To do so, here's what you must know
about each person on your team and how to empower them by aligning
their higher purpose with the direction of your organization.
First,
understand that everyone has a higher purpose in life. Your job is to
find out what it is and then help them achieve it. When people are engaged,
productive, and fulfilled in their work, they will be more
likely to achieve that higher purpose. When everyone on your team is
working toward the same thing, whether creating a great product or
service, you will see considerable gains in performance.
Here
are five tips to help your team find theirs:
1.
Start with your WHY
The best
place to start is by digging into the WHY behind what you do. This
could be as simple as, "I believe in our mission" or "I
want to provide a great experience for our customers." If you know why your
team does what they do, ask them to take it one step further
and dig deeper. What's the real reason why? Why are they committed to
that particular company goal? It doesn't have to be grandiose, just
honest.
2. Set
an intention
Now that
everyone has identified their higher purpose, set an intention together
on how your team can better work towards fulfilling it day-to-day.
Maybe if you use this approach instead of constantly reacting to
issues, you'll be ahead of the game.
3.
Schedule it
To ensure
that your team can meet frequently and consistently, schedule it into
their calendars, so they don't let essential discussions fall through
the cracks. Keep the momentum going by making these
meetings opportunities for feedback and introspection.
4. Be
transparent
It's also a
good idea to be open about what success looks like for them
individually and for everyone on the team. For example, do they have an
updated vision statement? A new goal? This will help your team feel
accountable and supported in their goals while setting expectations
around individual responsibilities along the way.
5.
Celebrate together
Nothing
ignites a higher purpose than being recognized for your work. So when
your team gets something done, whether big or small, be sure to
celebrate it together. Recognition is one of the key
ingredients in keeping everyone's spirits high throughout the rest of
their day. |
