Drive Optimism By Confronting Challenges

Superficial optimism that does not confront the reality of current challenges lands as tone deaf and can actually demotivate.

The key is to acknowledge the challenges and setbacks of the present while engaging in dialogue about how to overcome them. Strategies created from within the team always have the strongest buy-in.

From there, it becomes possible to paint the broader vision of the positive opportunities that await as a result of the team having collaborated, grown and achieved something they believe in.
