When People Know Why, They Nail The How

When People Know Why, They Nail The How

Companies spend a lot of time making sure their employees know what they’re working on.

But not nearly enough time making sure they know what they’re working for – the why.

When results dip, it’s rarely due to incompetence alone. More often, it’s a missing connection that creates friction.

Draw a straight line from today’s work to tomorrow’s outcomes. Tell the story. Make the mission matter. When people see the why, they sharpen the how. That’s how you achieve bottom-line results, because everyone is pulling in the same direction.

Connect the dots for your team, and watch them make the lines even straighter.

TEAM HUDDLE CHALLENGE

This week, take 10 minutes with your team to write the “why” for one priority – one sentence, plain English. Share it in a quick huddle and make sure every task ladders up to it. Then send your sentence to Jason Anthoine for a shout-out in our next edition of The Insider. You can reach him anytime at janthoine@arketi.com.
