E: Ensure Employees Are E3 (Enjoyably Engaged in the Experience)

Being enjoyably engaged in the experience can be the difference between enjoying work and hating it. Enrolling a person in the culture is much easier if there is a positive connotation to that culture. Make sure to engage your employees in activities to keep their spirits up and add fun to the workplace. You can do this through events, recognition, and more!

Knowing your people’s expectations and responsibilities can be a huge factor in a team’s success. Make sure that everyone knows their role in accomplishing the overall goals.

Building up the skills of your people and growing their careers is a goal of every good manager. Talk to your team to learn their interests, desired skills, and career goals. Once you know what they want, help them grow!

S: Synergize & Get To Performing

Team chemistry is a real thing, and buy-in is needed to accomplish your goals. Gather the right people early to build trust and camaraderie. A tight and friendly team works together better as the team’s trust allows for real and powerful feedback which in turn creates better performing teams.

Utilizing this alternate view, you can set different expectations with your people on what it takes to get the RESULTS we want as a team.
