The Coates Perspective for February 27, 2013 “Steering
Organizations To New Horizons.” Leading Your Team In Building Momentum One
of the winning qualities of an organization is momentum. With it, energy within
the team is created and everyone is inspired to accomplish greater things.
Without it, morale is low and enthusiasm for the mission wanes. Momentum
usually begins with the leader. In order for an organization to grow, the
leader has to lead and cast vision to his or her team. Writer Elanor Doan
stated, “You cannot kindle a fire in any
other heart until it is burning within your own.” When a team begins to
sense that momentum is in the air, it fills the sails of everyone in the
organization to perform even better, to shoot for even greater goals. It was
Michael Korda who observed, “One
way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals.” Momentum begets more momentum. A good
leader gets it going. A good team keeps it going. Here
is the take-a-way for the leader who desires to create positive momentum. How
is it done? What does a leader have to do in order to create a momentum that
lasts? Here are a few suggestions: 1. Create a work
culture where success is celebrated. When people feel valued, they produce
great work. 2. Model passion
before those around you. Some things are caught before they can be taught. 3. Build the kind of
talented team who can build upon the momentum you create. No one can keep it going
alone. You’ve read my perspective. Now, I’d love to
hear yours. What are you thinking? How do you create momentum in your
organization? If you need help working through the
process consider using the resources at Coates and Associates, Inc. We would
consider it an honor to visit with you about developing a process forward. |
