RAISING SIGHTS
If you want to make things happen, you have to raise the sights of your team, not lower them. The broader the picture you give people, the fewer obstacles they see in their path. People need BIG goals. If they have big goals they will blow right through the small ones. But those obstacles will become mountains if you don’t get people beyond the day-to-day issues, if you don’t appeal to something they really want to do. That means letting them see the big picture. It means sharing the facts with them. It means showing them the challenge, letting them experience the fun of the game, the fun of winning. It means motivating people with humor and excitement, which go a lot further than yelling and screaming.
