The powerful impact of aligning goals with your team.
In order to set your team up for success, it is crucial as a leader to align goals and expectations within the work environment. Successful leaders know the importance of setting clear expectations for team members and ensuring they understand what is required to fulfill their roles effectively.
Many retailers often overlook this critical step, leading to a disconnect between team members and the overall vision and objectives of the company.
To achieve clarity, it’s critical to provide specific guidance during training and breaking down each step of the job requirements. By encouraging team members to think from the customer's perspective and come up with reasons for each step, they develop a deeper understanding and commitment to delivering exceptional service.
However, setting expectations is just the beginning. Team members can easily become complacent, so regular catch-up sessions are essential to maintain focus on daily priorities, results, and key performance indicators.
Ongoing follow-up by the store manager is crucial to reinforce positive behaviours and provide support to those who may be struggling.
By aligning goals and consistently following up with team members, leaders can empower their teams to perform at their best and achieve exceptional results. Clear expectations, ongoing support, and recognition are the keys to long-term success in building a collaborative and successful work environment.
