You just need a couple of tips to take away the feeling that
you and your team are stuck.
- · It is not necessary that this is true, the simple fact of feeling stuck in a project lowers productivity.
- · Leading a team is not simple, but you must be the first to help them stay motivated.
- · Crises are part of the life of every team, you just have to know how to overcome them.
Imagine that you have been working on a project formonths. That project has consumed much of your time and that of your
team. The planning, the principles, the implementation ... It is a long
work that apart from time consumes your energies. And if that project does
not go as you expected? Then we can say that it consumes even your desire
to move on with it.
In a situation like this you will surely also find that your team's response is slower. And
it is that a failure decreases the motivation and with it the
production. The problem is when this situation is prolonged and it passes
to a feeling of stagnation. Thenthat gives way to frustration and it is impossible to move forward.
It's time to stop and think. There is always an
alternative and a way forward. Breathing deeply and reflecting on what has happened so
far is a very important step. You already know that something has failed,
you recognize that there is a problem, now what you need is to find a way to
solve it.
Although with a
team undermined in their energies and their motivation can be
complicated. You need to give
them life and any possibility of offering an incentive beyond the resolution of
the problem is beyond your reach. How
to make them react?
Founder and CEO
of Predictable Success, Les McKeown has been advising companies for their
growth for years. For all those who are in this situation of stagnation he
offers two tips with which to rejuvenate project and team.
1. The
first advice is for you
Yes, you are the
leader of the team so the solution of the problem and the reactivation of the
team begins with you. McKeown proposes to imagine that you dismiss
yourself. But not permanently. You dismiss yourself at the end of the
week and re-readmit yourself on Monday. What would you do? It does
not matter that only one weekend has passed, you are the new one at work, what
would be your proposal as someone totally alien to the project?
2. The
second one is for your team ... And for you too
This is the time
to meet with your team. You have a competitor, as a company all have a
major or minor competitor. Think of the biggest fear about that
competitor, what can you throw at the market? What can you do that can
make your business stability falter? How would it be? What is that
company may be doing to surpass you?
Do you have the
answer? Then you must know that precisely that answer you just found is
what you and your team must be doing to get out of this hole.
