Is your team all pulling in the same direction

The news media is full of stories with mixed messages on the economy and uncertainty is in the air. What effect does all this news have on your staff, employees and teammates? Probably not a positive influence, but how do you counteract all the negative energy?

Everyone has a desire to belong to a group. Take a look at all the energy, excitement and anticipation surrounding college and professional football this season. Is it just me, or is this fall different with a heightened desire to use sports to re-energize the country. If you want an example, take a look at the New Orleans Saints and how a football team is helping with the continuing restoration of a devastated city.

So, how do you transfer positive team influence to your employees and co-workers? What steps have you taken to rebuild your company or school team spirit? How about adopting a charitable cause and pitching in your time and teamwork to improve your community. Find a way to make a difference in the lives of strangers by pitching in and giving back. Recruit a team, get a team t-shirt and walk in a fundraiser for cancer, ALS, the homeless, etc... Start your team on the path to all be pulling in the same direction for a common cause and see how that pride will translate to a better work environment.
