Teams with a shared understanding of the steps they will take towards their goal can achieve up to 30% better task performance!
"A goal without a plan is just a wish." - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Ambitious goals are inspiring - but only if your team knows how to achieve them. Without a clear, believable pathway, even the best intentions can turn into frustration and disengagement.
🔍 Research shows that teams with a shared understanding of how to achieve their goals consistently outperform others. Teams with high collective efficacy - confidence in their ability to succeed - achieve up to 30% better task performance (DeChurch & Mesmer-Magnus, Journal of Applied Psychology, 2010).
At Gyre, we offer the playbook your team needs to create a believable pathway - helping teams map realistic steps, align roles, and build the confidence to succeed together.
Here’s a preview of how you can start building this clarity:
1️⃣ Map a believable pathway: Link current reality to aspirational goals. Without realistic steps, even the best goals feel unachievable.
2️⃣ Create early wins: Small, shared successes build momentum and collective belief in your team’s capabilities.
3️⃣ Address scepticism openly: Disarm doubts by addressing them head-on. It builds trust and sharpens your team’s focus.
4️⃣ Focus on practical solutions: Use team time to tackle the tasks ahead and encourage collaboration on solutions.
5️⃣ Clarify roles and coordination: Avoid “hub and spoke” working. Ensure everyone knows their role and how tasks interconnect.
6️⃣ Develop task-focused leadership: Equip your team to lead on practical challenges - not just people-focused goals.
🎯 Teams with this clarity of purpose and pathway don’t just hit their targets - they exceed them. They perform better, experience less conflict, and feel more motivated.
✨ Want your team to thrive? Start with a shared understanding of how you’ll achieve success together.
