Bringing Life To A Teams Vision

Imagine having a team culture that knows how to support and get excited about a new vision. But bringing people to unite for a vision can be complex. People may have different beliefs about what the vision “should” be. If people aren’t behind a vision, it can leave them feeling frustrated because they don’t feel seen or heard. This can cause people to start disengaging from their work and go against the team culture.
