Unlock Team Productivity in 90 Days

The Challenge of Accountability and Productivity

If you’re a business owner, corporate leader, or manager, you've likely experienced the frustration of trying to get your team to be both productive and accountable. It’s a common issue—projects get delayed, communication breaks down, and before you know it, you’re left dealing with the consequences of unclear expectations.

The good news? You can turn this around, and fast. In just 90 days, you can transform your team’s productivity and create a culture of accountability. Here’s how.

The Cost of Ignoring the Problem

Before we get to the solution, let’s talk about what happens if you don’t address these issues:

• Missed Deadlines: Without clear expectations, projects will consistently fall behind.
• Frustration and Confusion: When communication is weak, your team will become frustrated, and the overall atmosphere will suffer.
• Time Wasted on Micromanagement: You’ll spend more time putting out fires and less time focusing on growing your business.

But when you implement the right strategies, you can avoid these headaches entirely:

• Your team will have a clear understanding of their roles and goals.
• Communication will improve, making your business more efficient.
• You’ll have more time to focus on the big picture instead of micromanaging.

A Real Example: John’s HVAC Company

Let me share a quick story about a client named John, who runs an HVAC company. John had a great team, but he was still working 60-80 hours a week, constantly solving problems and answering questions. Despite having talented people on his team, he felt stuck in the day-to-day operations.

By implementing three simple strategies, John was able to step back and focus on growing his business. Instead of constantly being pulled into the weeds, he spent his time on what really mattered—building client relationships and driving the strategic direction of his company.

3 Strategies to Boost Productivity and Accountability

Now, let’s dive into the three key actions you can take to unlock your team’s productivity in just 90 days:

• Set a 90-Day Plan Break down your annual goals into 90-day increments. This creates short-term milestones that are easier to achieve and keep your team motivated. Focus on 3-5 key goals for each quarter, and make sure your team knows the strategies they need to follow to achieve them. Regularly review these goals and hold your team accountable on a weekly basis.
• Hold Weekly “L.I.O.N” Meetings The “L.I.O.N” meeting stands for Last week’s results, Issues for this week, Opportunities for improvement, and Next week’s commitments. This weekly check-in isn’t about solving every issue; it’s about keeping communication open and making sure everyone is on track. These meetings should be short and focused, ensuring that your team stays accountable for their 90-day goals.
• One-on-One Check-Ins Make time for a weekly one-on-one meeting with each of your direct reports. In these meetings, discuss their key performance indicators, their professional development, and what they’re committing to for the following week. This personal accountability helps keep everyone aligned with the company’s broader goals.

The Benefits of Implementing These Strategies

Imagine a business where your team knows exactly what’s expected of them, where communication flows smoothly, and where accountability is the norm. By following these three simple strategies, you can create a team that:

• Stays on track with clear, actionable goals.
• Communicates efficiently, reducing confusion and frustration.
• Consistently hits their targets, allowing you to focus on growing the business.
