Wk 40 - Engage Others in Common Goals and Visions


Hello Reader,

Engage Others in Common Goals and Visions

As a leader, you cannot achieve everything alone. You must involve others in your endeavors to succeed and make a positive impact. Collaborating on mutual agendas and common visions can create a shared purpose and ownership that inspires your team.

Here are some action steps you can take to involve and engage others in your leadership efforts:

  1. Define the vision: Before involving others in your vision, you must clearly define it. Take the time to articulate what you want to achieve and why it matters. Make it compelling and inspiring so that others will want to join you.
  2. Share the vision: Once you have a clear vision, share it with your team. Communicate it clearly and frequently so everyone knows what they're working towards. Use a variety of mediums, such as team meetings, email, newsletters, and even social media, to keep your team informed and engaged.
  3. Create opportunities for input: People are more likely to be invested in a project if they feel they have a voice. Create opportunities for your team to provide input and feedback on the vision and the plan. This can include brainstorming sessions, surveys, and one-on-one conversations.
  4. Celebrate progress: Recognize and celebrate progress towards the vision. This can include small wins, milestones, and achievements along the way. Celebrations can be as simple as a team lunch or as elaborate as an off-site retreat, but the key is to acknowledge and reward progress.
  5. Nurture a culture of collaboration: Encourage collaboration and teamwork by valuing cooperation and open communication through team-building activities, cross-functional projects, and shared goals. Promoting a sense of community and shared ownership can create a more engaged and committed team.
  6. Lead by example: Your behavior as a leader sets the tone for the entire team. Lead by example by involving and engaging others in your vision and demonstrating a willingness to collaborate and work together towards a common goal.

Involving and engaging others in your leadership efforts is essential for success. Create a motivated, committed team invested in your mutual agenda and common vision.

Beyond Myth: Reclaiming American Patriotism by Karl Bimshas

Hi Reader, Many years ago, I developed a quirky habit of writing an annual Fourth of July essay. Some years for private consumption and reflection, some years public, like my 2007 essay, which was published as a letter to the editor in the Boston Globe. Below is this year's entry into the catalog. Beyond Myth: Reclaiming American Patriotism As we mark, acknowledge, and celebrate 249 years since the birth of the United States, it is right to recall that the Founding Fathers, those venerated...
