How do you effectively rally your team?

Number one, have a clear vision. Without fluff. Don't write a vision statement that's three or five sentences long. That's too long. If you can squeeze it in and distill it to one sentence as much as possible, make it one sentence. Make it so understandable, so clear to the people who you will deliver it to that they can't help but just understand it and buy into it.

And make sure that this vision that you painstakingly distilled to make it clear, repeatedly communicated.

Second thing is to make sure that everyone in your team knows what the roles and responsibilities are of each different team member. Not having a clear role of what other team members are doing leaves gaps for confusion.

And if your team members are confused, they don't know what other people are doing, why would they buy into your vision? What's so important about your vision if they don't know what the guy beside them, or the girl in the next table to them doesn't know what they're doing? So it's very important for you as the leader to make sure that everyone knows what each other are doing.

Don't be so afraid of allowing your team members to know what each other are doing that you end up as a leader, paralyzed, and your vision becomes stagnant because now your team is just left in the gaps of confusion. Make sure to explain clearly to everyone what each team is responsible for, and that will help you to rally your team to your vision.

Number three sets clear milestones on how you're going to be able to achieve that vision. If people don't see progress, if you're not able to measure the things that you're doing to be able to achieve that vision, people will soon start to give up in their spirit and they will say, "Yeah, it's a North Star, but we're not moving anywhere towards it. It's just there."

A vision statement is supposed to be a North Star, and you are supposed to take your people there. You need to make sure that you're moving forward, and you and your team are all in the same boat, moving towards that North Star. If you're unable to do this, you will stagnate and you will lose market share.

Number four, try to get rid of any people in your team right now who involve themselves in divisive activities. Activities like gossip, treating someone badly in the team, bullying someone, doing mediocre work, doing things like quiet, quitting.

Try to get rid of these people as soon as you can, because their divisive practices will surely cement and anchor your company, so much so that you're not going to move anymore because they're going to keep bogging you down. So you make sure that you eliminate these people, ask around, keep your eyes and ears open, and when you find out about them, or maybe you know them already, take this video as an encouragement to get rid of them.

And lastly, number five, celebrate the wins. When you are able to do something significant when you achieve a milestone. I don't think there is such a thing as something too small. You celebrate it. You give someone a high five, you applaud someone, you say good job, good work, great work for accomplishing that.

So those are the five things that I suggest that you do if you're finding it difficult to rally your team around your vision, that should really improve your unity in the team and finally allow you to move forward full steam.
