Forbes: 10 Ways to Inspire Your Team

June 1, 2021 In: Sound Bits

As we begin to emerge from the grips of the Pandemic, many arts organizations are shifting their focus from surviving the immediate challenges presented by the current situation to planning for a post-pandemic arts-landscape. One of the challenges arts organizations might face is fostering inspiration amongst team members after what has been such a challenging and demanding period. With so much time having been spent on triaging the ‘now,’ looking to the possibilities and opportunities of our post-pandemic arts landscape will require inspiration and innovation.

We recently came across Glenn Llopis’ article, 10 Ways to Inspire Your Team. Published for Forbes.com, the article offers ten strategies for leaders to cultivate inspiration amongst team members:

  1. Solving, Not Just Selling
  2. Purpose, Not Just Profit
  3. Know the Ingredients, Not just the Recipe
  4. Learning, Not Just Lecturing
  5. Innovation, Not Just Ideation
  6. Significance, Not Just Success
  7. Ownership, Not Just Accountability
  8. Respect, Not Just Recognition
  9. Personal Growth, Not Just Responsibility
  10. Trust, Not Just Transparency

While published for the broader business community, the Llopis’ perspective is also relevant when viewed through an arts lens. Read the complete article at:
