Enabling Others to Act
Introduction to Activity:
There are a multitude of documented activities facilitators in professional workshops utilize to develop and promote teamwork. Emotionally intelligent leaders inspire others with hope and optimism. They radiate enthusiasm and confidence, infusing employees with the same contagious attitude. Optimistic leaders encourage employees to set higher goals for themselves by (a) sharing their vision, (b) communicating that vision clearly and concisely, (c) placing them in a position where they can grow, and (d) providing them with the technology for optimum performance.
In response, team members are willing to work hard to accomplish those goals. They glean the desire to lift their team and organization to new heights. They demonstrate self-motivation and resourcefulness in their desire to accomplish their goal. Team members use their skills to break down their tasks into manageable parts, understanding there are several avenues through which the mission can be accomplished.
