\"English:<\/a>We are always striving to strengthen our team and build team momentum as we work together.\u00a0 For the most part our teams find it fulfilling to work together! For now, in our effort to improve we have landed on three ways to build team momentum, strengthen each individual and keep each other engaged on critical activities.\u00a0 I’m just not sure it is enough. What is your experience?<\/p>\n

First: Engaging Interactions<\/h2>\n

Weekly we engage in a Master Mind Group.\u00a0 The teams move through 7 weeks of business building activities.\u00a0 Each week there is listening and understanding as each person shares goals set and met.\u00a0 When goals are not yet met where is brainstorming on how to overcome and blow through the barriers.
\nSometimes these interactions are filled with laughter, smiling and winking.\u00a0 Sometimes they even sound like a business meeting.\u00a0 Keeping the flow and the fun is the balance we seek.\u00a0 How does your team support one another weekly?<\/p>\n

Second: Exacting Activities for Proven Results<\/h2>\n

Like many of you we have an exacting list of activities we know will help a person develop the work habits they need and land them in the\u00a0 success side of business building.\u00a0 We are using a shared Google spreadsheet to help us each record our activity and see our progress.\u00a0 Where successes come all on the team know what is happening.\u00a0 Where failure jumps our and grabs us all on the team are there to pull each member through.<\/p>\n

Third: Activity Transparency<\/h2>\n

Some times a list of detail like this seems like a little much but it is clear exactly what is expected and how each person is doing against that standard. This kind of transparency is often seen as a threat.\u00a0 Most of the time it takes a bit to get comfortable with the other team members being “in your face’.\u00a0 While most of the time the accountability is gentle and full of understanding there still a level of discomfort.\u00a0 This, for some, adds motivation and drive. For others it drives them away. What are you finding?\u00a0 Is this the kind of tool your team is using?\u00a0 How is it helping? Hurting?
\nHere is a glance at the simple spreadsheet where we coordinate our activity sharing.\u00a0 Do you have something like this?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0Please share your\u00a0 comments about what is working for you.\u00a0 Thank you.\u00a0 We can all learn so much from each other!<\/p>\n

Other Ways to Build Team Momentum<\/h1>\n

When I work with my teams I really enjoy seeing how they come together and gel.\u00a0 Just tonight I was members stepping up with their talents and skills to assist others.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 While our group is full of different people with a variety of skills each has so much to contribute.\u00a0 Just as you see in your groups there are a wide variety of ways to connect with individuals and build team momentum.\u00a0 What works for one may be the turn off for others.
\nFor now we are moving forward with these three simple actions.\u00a0 We hope it will be just the right mix.\u00a0 What tips would give a group seeking to build team\u00a0 momentum around a common cause?
