Step 1 – Identifying the goal upfront
If you are struggling to inspire your team, narrow down the main focus that your members are trying to achieve. If you can successfully “pinpoint” the purpose of everything your team is attempting to achieve together, the clearer and more united your team should identify the purpose or the mission of your team.
Step 2 – Verifying that the goal speaks to its teammates
After identifying the purpose, verify if everything your team does now works toward achieving the goal.
If not, find out why. Does that goal of your team speak to your team members? If it speaks to them, regardless of who is leading the task, your organization will work towards it. Do not force if the goal is not resonating with its members. Too many employees are sick and tired of working only to be forced into compliance.
Step 3 – Fix everything that is not encouraging teammates to work together
If it seems to be working, but your team is not responding well, it means the team environment is not encouraging enough for members to be forthcoming about how they’re feeling (as if, speaking up means jeopardizing their jobs).
Stop everything you’re doing, ask for feedback as a leader because your team may be telling you that you are NOT inspiring them.

- Verify if everything your team does now works towards achieving the goal
- If not working, fix it
- If it seems like “Yes”, but not sure why it isn’t working 100%, your team is scared to tell you the truth
