How to Energize your team participation during brainstorming sessions


  • Encourage open dialogue by making it clear at the outset that the final outcome is not predetermined 
  • Suggest that people try to think outside of their individual or departmental roles. 
  • Provide closure at the end of every meeting by assigning tasks and deadlines so people are accountable .
  • Recognize and thank people who share their ideas and viewpoints in a positive manner—especially those who are willing to take the risk to challenge you.

What do You have to consider when implementing a Decision ?


  • Priotrize tasks and who is responsible and allocate resources.                                                                                     If the sales force may not have extensive product knowledge and may need the help of a content profession.                                                                        You might need to assign an expert in product knowledge to work with the training department to develop a program.
  • Set clear objectives  and inform about incentives. if A key account manager  is going to start managing the company's largest customer , so we have explain what this customer means to the organization and your expectations for managing the relationship. Determine  the  result in a pay increase or change in title, and follow up with your Human Resources department to make that happen.
  • Continuous feedback on the implementation. Give your employees feedback on the progress of the implementation plan. Your input should be constructive and focused on accountability and execution. 
  • Set a time for daily or weekly status meetings. This will help you stay informed of your group's progress during implementation.
  • Take a look by yourself. Check with people informally. Ask them how the project is going and if they have any concerns about it. Be interested not only in issues related to implementation, such as schedule and budget, but also whether your employees believe that the project is effectively addressing the problem it is intended to solve.
  • Recognize people's work. Implementation often goes unnoticed unless it fails. If things are going well, recognize individual contributions and celebrate successes.
