It is necessary for all Team Leaders to learn the secrets to creating momentum and maintaining it within their groups.
In reality there really are no secrets to building momentum with your teammates. What you must understand is that not everyone will see what you are doing is any benefit to them. That is sad but it is the truth. In creating momentum we need to work with those who are motivated. The problem is what motivates one person will not necessarily novitiate another.
This is where I believe a few Team Leaders (including me) are making some mistakes. That is when the Leader is looking at their entire team and trying to decide on what kind of incentive or award can be offered to entice them into joining forces with the Leader so the momentum builds or continues.
To maintain momentum means that there is somewhat of a momentum activity already present. And that of course would have to be the Leader. This means that you simply must be the example to follow.
The ones you are concerned with would be your workers – “work with the workers.” Share with your workers the team plans you have in mind – share with them the desires, dreams and goals that you have for your team.
The momentum will build as soon as you personally take action. “momentum” in its self is the action that continues when the force that created the momentum has stopped for a short period of time.
When you see your actions being duplicated by your working affiliates the momentum has begun. To keep it going you need to send messages to your team members on the excited things your workers are accomplishing.
Keep rewarding the workers for a job well done and keep posting the news about each worker to your entire team this will cause some “sluffers” to wake up and want to join the momentum force. That’s when the “snow-ball” effect kicks in.
This momentum force will need to be fed every day with new excited news about someone, other than yourself, accomplishing milestones. Do not worry about to many post or messages to your team. At a time like this the more excited news that is posted the greater the force of the momentum gets.
