Setting goals is the easy part. Turning them into reality is where you need consistency, patience and perseverance. Your biggest resource for facing this challenge is your team. As a leader, you need your team to understand what success looks like. They also need to understand the role they play in reaching that success. 

To help you get started, we’ve created a list of five of the best ways to bring your team on that journey and help you achieve your goals.

1. Share your goals

To achieve business success, it’s crucial to bring your team along on the journey by clearly outlining your goals and objectives. When your team understands the broader vision, they feel more connected to the purpose of the business.

This transparency fosters a sense of shared responsibility and belonging. Being part of a team that is united by common goals taps into people’s internal motivation, giving them a sense of ownership and pride in their work. This connection boosts their confidence, making them more willing and eager to tackle the tasks at hand.

2. Create a culture

Management consultant Peter Drucker said, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast”. This quote is popular because if a company’s culture is similar to the company’s values, then strategy becomes second nature to a team. Creating culture is more than putting quotes on a wall – it’s emphasizing employee wellness, fostering social connections, accepting each other’s differences and focusing on positivity.


3. Foster self-management

Motivating your team effectively involves empowering them to take responsibility for themselves and their work. When individuals feel valued both as part of the group and on a personal level, they tend to develop greater confidence and a stronger sense of ownership over their tasks.

To achieve this, it’s important to show genuine appreciation for their contributions. By recognizing their individual strengths and talents, and calling them out when you notice them in action, you reinforce their sense of value and potential. This acknowledgment not only boosts their morale but also encourages them to take pride in their work and to strive for continuous improvement.

4. Encourage creativity

Support creative problem-solving by encouraging out of the box ideas. You don’t have to follow through with new ideas, but create an environment that is open to the sharing of ideas, and sees problems not as reasons to complain, but as opportunities for improvement.

5. Set challenges

When you can see your team is making improvements, prevent them from getting bored by challenging them with new tasks. For example, if one of your employees is very confident with task management, give them a new responsibility or the opportunity to be second in command.

Helping your team to upskill will benefit them, but also benefit your business. Some businesses worry that good, skilled staff will eventually leave them and take those skills elsewhere. However, staff are less likely to leave if you’re providing opportunities for growth.

A stronger, more motivated team is a great resource when it comes to reaching your business goals. So be the best leader you can be and use these tips to take your team on your journey to what success looks like.
