what to care about.
It comes from helping them connect what they
already care about to the mission.

Ask your team to reflect:
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳?
Give them space.
Let them reflect a bit.
Then open the dialogue.
Look for the connections between team and
individual values.
Why does this matter?
When your teammates are aligned with the team’s
purpose, they’ll run through brick walls to win.
That’s the work we do inside Leadership Ready Room.
Helping leaders facilitate these kinds of real
conversations that connect values to mission.
What’s one way you help your team see the connection
between their values and your organization’s purpose?
Are you a leader looking for this kind of room for either
yourself or another leader on your team?
Reach out and let’s continue the conversation.
