We’re approach mid-year, and you’re starting to notice something that’s hard to admit: Those goals you and your team set back in December are off track.

2024 has been a strange year. Market changes have a lot of teams scrambling to figure out what to do.

The result:

– You’re spending a lot of time in meetings and firefighting instead of taking forward action

– Everything seems like high-priority

– You’re seeing loads of pop-up, reactive actions getting thrown to the forefront

– The targets each team member had seem almost irrelevant now

– You have that uncomfortable feeling that all of the work that went into last year’s planning will be lost

– The stress has made team meetings more stressful than they used to be

The fix: Level-set your strategy NOW.

There isn’t time to go back to the drawing board. But it is possible to reset the team around revised goals and new accountabilities.

You can do this in a day.

And don’t underestimate the value of thinking differently to do this. How you’ve been thinking up to now won’t get you where you need to be in December.

My recommendation: bring in a strategic expert, don’t try to do this on your own. The outside objectivity will quell those interpersonal flare-ups between team members. You’ll get to be a part of the conversation instead of being the one to corral the team.

In a short amount of time, your team will be moving in the same direction again. The excitement of momentum will return.

It will feel like a breath of fresh air.
