I was asked by a friend: “How do I manage my team if they are just sloppy?”
We’ve all been there. You brief your team and then you contact them one week later to get the results.
They were half done, but didn’t know what to do next.
They did some work but the majority of it was beyond their capabilities.
They did not do all of the things they were supposed to.
How can you anticipate your team’s needs so they have the tools they need to do great work?
Alexa and I talk about how you can help your team produce great results.
We talk about:
Motivational techniques to motivate your team
They can use checklists to help them keep track and monitor their progress.
Checkpoints on briefs are required before you move forward
Questions that will verify your understanding of the tasks
You can also help your team do great things in other ways!
