When your team shares in their desires, they’re unstoppable. With soulful leadership you can give your team a desire for success, for reaching goals, and for inspiring one another. At Technalink, we believe in the power of inspiration, and there are few things as inspirational as genuine desire to succeed.
Giving your team a desire for success means being able to inspire them first, and once they’re feeling that inspiration it becomes contagious. However, even for compassionate leadership, starting that chain can seem tricky. Afterall, yours will be the spark that gets the fire going. Steps to take to inspire this kind of desire for success in your team are:
• Set a clear and specific goal to reach – With a clear and specific goal, your team has a finish line that they can visualize. Specify what you want to achieve with your goal, when that goal should be reached, why this goal is meaningful, how it can be achieved, and how your team is going to do it all together. This sets everyone in the team on the same page and at the same starting line.
• Motivational check-ins – No goal is reached all at once; it takes many small steps to get there. A powerful motivational tool is to celebrate these steps, and this can be done with motivational check-ins. Teams can get excited to share what they’ve learned and achieved, and check-ins bring everyone together. Keep them positive, keep them inspirational, and use them as an opportunity to keep that fire burning.
• Encourage positive energy – Positive energy stimulates motivation, while negative energy hinders it. Mindful meditation sessions, rewards, and open communication creates the sort of positive environment that creates contagious mindful ambition and desire.
• Reflect – Once the goal has been reached, it’s time for a little mindful reflection. Discuss openly and honestly what worked, what didn’t, and what we’ve learned that can be used for next time. Feed into the momentum of success and roll that over into the next goal or challenge.
When you mix inspiration with a clear-cut path to a goal, you get the recipe to create desire to succeed. With mindful leadership at the helm, every team can be inspired to reach their fullest potential.
