Getting Your Team Unstuck

Cited from 'Getting your team unstuck' from Lynda.com

1. Don't make assumptions.
2. Adopt a 70% rule. When progress has slowed and the decisions need to be made, adopting a mutually agreed-upon decision rule can often speed things up. The 70% rule: any time someone is 70% bought into the direction the team is going, they will agree to consider themselves 100% bought in.
3. Shake up the routines that current dominate the team's day.
4. Lead an unscheduled, candor filled, tough conversation, dominated by the leader of the team. The purpose is to tell the group you're frustrated with the level of performance you've seen. To describe what great performance looks like. And to clarify what the consequences might be, should performance not improve. Signal the ways the leader will help the team regain the footing.
