January 22, 2025
Ever notice how "getting ready for the new year" often means bombarding your team with ambitious goals but forgetting the "how" part? Welcome to another myth-busting episode of No More Leadership BS, where we're tackling the real mechanics of preparing your team for success in the new year. Because let's face it – posting inspirational quotes in the break room isn't quite the same as actual preparation. Our panel breaks down the practical steps that make the difference between empty resolutions and real organizational change. From communication strategies that actually work to the power of explaining the "why" behind your actions. In this episode, we explore: Why clear communication needs to be more than just another email blast -> How to get genuine team buy-in (hint: it's not about pizza parties) ->The science behind why explaining the "why" drastically improves compliance -> Practical ways to celebrate wins without breaking the budget -> How personal leadership preparation affects team success Whether you're planning your first quarter or wondering why last year's plans didn't stick, this episode delivers practical insights on getting your team genuinely ready for change. Because real preparation isn't about perfect plans – it's about people.
