Want to get the best out of the team, learn to say YES. Defend your team. Encourage your team and manage them from a good place – not a bad place.
If the environment is managed well, you will find the attitude in general will increase productivity.
YES is such an optimistic and powerful word. It opens peoples minds and allows a thought process that can only help workflow. It extends dialogue and adds substance to your day. The depth behind and below YES is immeasurable in many ways, but the net take-away is huge. Just watching the body language and response to YES is evidence of just how dominant the word is.
Resisting change can only lead to poor performance. Exhibit trust and the entire team becomes a self-contained support system. It will create a sense of pride, reduce ego, build confidence and the payoff will be significant.
YES should inspire the people around you and it will create a contagious mindset. This is the kind of epidemic we all want in life.
