A really good way to develop your team into a team that works hard even when it’s not fun and exciting is if everyone knows each other.
Beyond just each other: the wives, the husbands, the kids, the dogs.
Because when the going gets tough, it’s the connection that gives grease to the wheels.
In short…
Have more backyard barbecues. Get everyone together more often. Get everyone on Slack or at least a group text. Send a daily morning email to everyone one the team with something funny or interesting or personal or a daily question.
Know when birthdays are…and buy a gift. Don’t let their calls go to voicemail and answer with a smile.
Take the time to care about your team and for your team.
That way when the first, second and third singles tank, everyone will be just as pumped up for number four.
