In this episode, I share practical strategies to help leaders stay focused and productive when negative energy within a team starts to drain motivation and momentum.
Here’s the question:
"How do I remain focused on the tasks at hand when there is so much negative energy within my team and the business? It’s a distraction that isn’t new, but it consumes energy and time, resulting in unproductive outcomes."
I’ll introduce you to the Net Forward Energy Ratio, a tool that helps redirect energy from problem analysis to positive action.
To apply it, I’ll walk you through five essential questions that will keep your team moving forward:
What’s already working?
How specifically is it working?
What’s our main objective?
What’s in it for all stakeholders (including all of us)?
And only then—what could we improve or change?
This approach won’t solve every issue overnight, but it’s a powerful way to transform unproductive dynamics and channel team energy toward constructive outcomes.
Enjoy the episode and hope it helps...
...And if the episode resonates with the challenges you're facing, consider exploring Basecamp: Leadership Essentials Online.
