GREATer strategic commitment can ONLY be achieved when Senior Management / Leaders collaborate with their teams to review their goals, opportunities and challenges. Stop wasting your time only discussing and negotiating your strategic priorities with your Senior Management (and Board) colleagues
This “Team Up” approach (as opposed to the “Senior Management Down” approach) will make everyone at your Bank feel like they were heard and not “dictated” too. It will make everyone feel like they had a say in the strategic direction of the Bank. It will make everyone feel like the Leaders truly care about them and their personal goals.
Invest time to collaborate with the people who will actually execute the strategy and achieve the results. Invest time with your team on these three simple steps. It can be done in one half/full day session or three separate sessions.
The time invested to collaborate with your team on these three simple steps will clearly generate greater motivation, confidence and commitment. Now that sounds like time well spent to me.
