If you’re struggling to rally your team it could be because you don’t truly believe in what you’re doing.

If you’re feeling friction with rallying others around your mission go through this 6-part framework:

2. Am I clear enough on how business can fit into that?

5. Do I feel comfortable selling the vision to others?
