Launch a Crusade

 

  

 
 

Inspired Teams innovate best when they have a clear, inspiring and energizing strategic intent and innovate within that strategic intent. Create a challenging strategic intent or a cause and communicate it to your team members if you wish to launch a crusade and inspire entrepreneurial action.

The strategic intent must convey a significant stretch for your team. The cause and crusade should become the reason for existence of your team. You and your team should live the cause. Everyone should be involved. Reward the activities that advance the crusade and celebrate all victories, be them big or small.
