Celebrating small steps towards that future vision is another important action. It helps activate intrinsic motivation to build momentum in making change.

Nice

What sort of ways have you seen celebrating implemented well that are directly connected to vision, Kris?

Leader-hosted dialogue forums work well to help employees feel seen and heard especially early on... "What about the vision inspires you...what possibilities are you curious about? As you explored those ideas, what have you learned that you'd like to share with the team?" And acknowledging discomfort..."How can you be patient with yourself with what still feels uncertain? What can I do to encourage?" That gives the leader the chance to highlight specific actions employees are taking towards the vision, including empathy.

Questions might be asked at an open team session or 1-1.
