Help your people take ownership and make stronger commitments

It’s Tactical Tuesday!

Here is the Thought, Tip, and Tool of the week...

___________________________

The Thought

Did you know... teams with high ownership report 50% higher productivity and 44% greater job satisfaction (Harvard Business Review)? Ownership fuels intrinsic motivation, leading to stronger commitments and better results.

___________________________

The Tip

Remember to… celebrate commitments, not just results. Highlight moments when your people honor their commitments, whether through small shoutouts or team-wide recognition. Positive reinforcement and recognition builds a culture of ownership.

The Tool

Video tutorial: Commitment Wall team meeting activity

Shift the conversation from holding your people accountable to asking them to commit. Start your next team meeting by passing out a stack of post-its (or have them grab a post-it virtually), then ask them to write down something they are committing to (e.g. asking more questions during discovery or improving their self-talk to be more encouraging). Then they go around and share their commitments. Collect the post-its and display them publicly. Either weekly or bi-weekly, go back and review a few commitments and celebrate them.

This goes a long way to creating a culture of commitments and why they are important. It’s really motivating for the team. Perfect for new or experienced leaders.
